Lust And Polygamy
Dear Sirs, I will make an appointment to meet Ghamidi sahib to ask this question. Just for your question to elaborate: Please read question properly before answering. It’s not about 4 wives or following desires. It’s about the verse in Quran that whoever follows the desires, is a wrong doer. The question asks that the person who follows his desire as an example of liking a woman, later married her; does he falls in the same category? The person who does a love marriage or is dying to marry a girl basically is following his desire.
Sorry but the original question neither mentions any verse in the Quran nor references it. Also the question specifically states “ta’dud-e-azwaj” (polygamy) and “shahwat” (lust) for a woman other than one’s wife and later marrying her. The question you stated above is not what the original question is asking. In reference to your follow up question, Quran verses about not following desires are not generic and must be understood in context. For example, Quran verse 4:135 forbids following desires in the context of justice. There are other verses with their own respective contexts. In short, there’s nothing wrong with liking a woman and marrying her.
