Multiple Marriages
For Muslims, polygamy draws its validity from Chapter 4 of the Quran. Its verses allow men to marry “two or three or four” women, but ask them to have a single wife if they “fear” they cannot treat them all with equal fairness. And this, verse 129 declares, is difficult for men to achieve despite their best efforts.
The verse 4:129 doesn’t say it is difficult. It says you will NEVER be able to be fair and just between wives EVEN if you strive to do so.
You say that Second and third wives don’t have respect for their “buddha” husband, but you women want us men to have respect and stick to our “buddhi” wife ?
You are entitled to your opinion. If a man wants to keep a mistress hidden away he can do it with one wife or two wives or more. I still maintain that a single woman or divorcee should not get involved with a married man. If she is unhappily married then leave her husband but please don’t get involved with a married man regardless of what he is offering. What happened at the time of Prophet sws is not applicable today. Is the man marrying a woman after a battle where there are widows and orphans left to be given a home ? I think this situation is not applicable today
Faisal this is my opinion. I didn’t summarize Ghamidi Sahib’s perspective. I did not use any hard facts, but I would like to know, which ones are not correct so I could further look into them.
