Removed section on "modern-day harems"

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

There was a section titled "Modern day harems" but none of the examples were relevant to the article -- the examples were all of people with large polygamous families, not about places or practices of secluding women. The section seems to be using "harem" in the loose sense of "person with a bunch of wives or concubines", but that's not what the article is about.

I removed the section once before and the removal was reverted without explanation, but the reversion was also reverting some other changes so I'm guessing the restored section was restored by accident? — Narsil (talk) 21:10, 9 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

The same person restored the content again. If other people agree with me they’ll say so, I guess. Not interested in getting in an edit war about it. — Narsil (talk) 06:02, 10 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
