Multiple Marriages
وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَىٰ فَانكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فَوَاحِدَةً أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَلَّا تَعُولُوا And if you be apprehensive that you will not be able to do justice to the orphans, you may marry two or three or four women whom you choose. But if you apprehend that you might not be able to do justice to them, then many only one wife, or marry those women who have fallen in your possession. This will be the better course to avoid injustice.
I don’t agree. As a woman I would like my husband to love me and not share his love with three other wives! Prophet sws was given permission to marry several wives for certain reasons. We human beings cannot live up to those standards. In our World if a man has two wives he faces great difficulties and backlash from the children. The Arab society is different. Money counts a lot there because the wives are not financially idependant!
First of all, Allah never “gave the permission”, because there was no restriction in the first place a ccording to Ghamidi sahab’s understanding, which I think is correct.. And there are more women who would sell their body for money, and many more men who would buy them, because it is much less a trouble than marriage. And there are also many ways, to get to be “friends” with other women ( which is much more painful and nastier than visiting Pro****es ) This has happened because women don’t want men to marry anyone else, once they are married. If a halal door is closed, many other doors open that have VERY nasty rooms on the other side… Because it is already hard to marry, but several ways a man can have sex with other women and get himself and other women in trouble.
