Multiple Marriages
I don’t think Ghamidi sb has ever written anywhere that his preferred suggestion of monogamy is based on the Quran. Can you quote from his book? Maybe I missed it. I believe his suggestion of monogamy is based on the conclusion that human understanding has collectively arrived based on the experience of centuries of practice of polygamy. Polygamy made a lot more sense in tribal cultures and with diminishing tribal cultures in the world, the negatives and complexities of polygamy heavily outweigh its benefits.

A few women cannot represent the all women. In this time we see many women are living with their low income husband happily and struggling with them for the betterment of their family. And mostly women who make Decision to become second or third wife they mostly have no respect for their old (بڈھا( husband. Money is not the condition for second marriage which verse of Quran tells you if you can afford then you can do second marriage.
