Abstract
The phenomenon of polygamy is a social phenomenon addressed by researchers at the differences and diversity jurisdiction. Geographers were not immune to this phenomenon because of its importance and implications as well as political and demographic effects , A group of Jewish women allowed polygamy , and supported the idea of many of the clergy of the Jews , because polygamy is considered a crime punished by law despite the fact that the Torah does not incriminate it. The research problem was expressed by the question : What are the factors that led to the emergence of the idea of polygamy in the Israeli society , which has rejected the idea for decades? What are the effects, if any, to place the application on the ground? Although geographical studies have dealt with a lot of internal and external political problems, concerning different countries of the world and raised by regional and international organizations, yet the problems of internal demographics and their consequent political repercussions have not received adequate attention by geographers. Libraries of geography remained in lack of topics of social issues with political consequences. This has prompted the researchers to study the issue in spite of the current lack of data and the scarcity of statistics on the subject, as well as the impossibility of field work for well-known reasons. The research aims to shed light on the idea of polygamy in the Israeli society, and to analyse the of the ingredients of this human phenomenon . The research is relying on the geo-political analytical approach in the study of many of the developments and changes associated with polygamy and their possible impact on the political and social aspects as well as the analysis of the elements of geographical , natural and human , aspects and their impact on the political aspects. The research is divided into several topics the first deals with the idea of polygamy in terms of the concept and the location in the world's major religions. The second topic has been the study of the demographic aspects of the Israeli society and its policy of reproductive and demographic data, compared to neighboring Arab countries. The third topic deals with the aspects of development that have a direct impact on the practice of polygamy. The final part has been allocated to potential aspects of the phenomenon under study as well as prospects for the future. There are calls to legalize polygamy in the Israeli society in order to reduce the high rate of spinsterhood, and polygamy is considered the perfect solution for many of the social problems , including the problem of demographic conflict with the Arabs . As it turns out that polygamy would contribute to increasing the levels of fertility in Israel, which suffers from low levels compared to those of the Arab neighboring countries. It is shown that there are differences in terms of fertility in the Israeli society depending on the type of immigrants and ethnic origins. There are high levels of fertility for Ethiopian migrants compared to European and Russian migrants; and these differences are dictated by different cultural conditions for migrants.
