Is two wives allowed in jainism
221
In Jainism, having two wives at the same time (polygamy) is not allowed as an ideal or religiously approved practice.
Briefly:
- For lay Jains (householders):
- For monks and nuns:
- Digambar and Shvetambar:
So, from a Jain dharmic point of view: No, keeping two wives together is not in line with Jain principles; one spouse with fidelity and restraint is the correct path.
