AI: Summary ©

The speaker discusses the issue of Islam's policy on marriage, stating that only one wife is allowed and polygraphies are prohibited. They suggest that the issue may be legal, but it is unclear if it is legal. The Chief Rabbi of Israel put a restriction on marriage, allowing only one wife and allowing women to have multiple sex partners to protect their sister from becoming "monemonic." The logical and scientific reasons for marriage are discussed, including that male and female sex is stronger and optional, that women are more likely to die due to drug and alcohol addiction, and that women are more likely to have multiple partners than men.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:11
			The fifth most common question is
that why does Islam permit a
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			Muslim man to have more than one
wife? Earlier this misconception
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			it was at the top of the charts.
But now it has come down to number
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:25
			five, Jihad and terrorism has
overtaken the question is, why
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			does a slob permit polygamy?
Polygamy is divided into two
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:37
			types, polygyny and polyandry
polygyny is where a man marries
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			more than one wife and polyandry
is where a woman marries more than
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:47
			one husband. In Islam, limited
polygyny is permitted, whereas
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			polyandry it is completely
prohibited.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:55
			In fact, Quran is the only
religious book on the face of the
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:01
			earth, which says that marry only
one. There is no other religious
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			book on the face of the earth,
which says that marry only one.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:10
			But that be the Talmud, with the
Old Testament, but the bit of our
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			Mayan, whether it be the Bible,
Quran is the only religious book
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			on the face of the earth, which
says that marry only one.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			And if you read
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			Rama and the father of Shri Ram,
King Dasha, he had more than one
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			wife. According to Mahabharata,
Krishna, how many wives do you
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			have?
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:40
			For 10 100,000 16,108?
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:48
			If Krishna can have 16,108 wives,
why can a Muslim maximum four
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			even if you read the Christian
scriptures, according to the
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Bible, a question can marry as
many wives as he wishes.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			It was later on that the Christian
church, they put a restriction and
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			said that a Christian should marry
only one wife. Even if you read
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:12
			the Jewish Scriptures, the Talmud,
the Old Testament, Abraham, he had
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			three wives, Solomon had 700
wives.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			So even according to the Jewish
Scriptures, a dual can marry as
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			many wives as he wishes.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:30
			It was later on that Robert
toship, Ben Yehuda, he issued an
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:35
			edict against it and said that a
Jew should marry only one wife.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			Even the Jewish community that
lived among the Muslims, even they
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			married more than one wife, till
as late as 1950.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			It was later on that the Chief
Rabbi of Israel, he put a ban he
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:57
			put a restriction and said that a
Jew should marry only one life.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			Whereas according to the
Scriptures are two can marry as
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			many wives as he wishes.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			Sending in the Hindu scriptures,
or Hindu can marry as many wives
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			as he wishes.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:17
			If you read the statistics of the
status of women in Islam,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			published on page number 66, and
67,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:27
			which showed that Muslims did
4.31% polygamous marriages,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:34
			whereas the Hindus did 5.06% point
seven 5% More than the Muslims.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			Even though it is illegal for a
Hindu to have more than one wife
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:45
			after it being illegal, the Hindus
were more polygamous as compared
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			to the Muslims. I don't know if it
are legal however, the percentage
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			would have reached two.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			But according to the Hindu
scriptures, a Hindu can marry as
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			many wives as he wishes. It was
later on that the Indian
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:06
			government, the Indian Penal Code,
in 1954, in the special Marriage
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			Act, they put a ban and said that
a Hindu should marry only one
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			wife.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			Whereas, according to the
Scriptures, a Hindu can marry as
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:24
			many wives as he wishes for
10 100,000 10,000 no upper limit
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			let's see what the Glorious Quran
talks about this.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Glorious Quran and Sunnah Nyssa
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			trap number four was number three
phunki Omar favela conveniently
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			sir must know what to look for in
a crystal Allah delu for Wahida
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:49
			Maddy woman of your choice in twos
threes or fours, but if you feel
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			that you cannot do justice, the
narrow only one
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			so only if you can do justice, you
can marry more than one wife.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05
			Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Glorious Quran, it's the Nyssa
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09
			chapter number four was number
129. While into stata you and
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			daddy lubaina Nyssa wallow
huddlestone fell out Emilio kolel,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:19
			May 1 kalamalka. And you will
never be and you cannot do justice
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			between your wives, but do not
turn away from them altogether.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:29
			Many people think that it is
compulsory in Islam to have more
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			than one wife.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:36
			Whereas it is MOBA. It is optional
in Islam to have more than one
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			wife. But if you have more than
one wife, and if you cannot do
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			justice, then you are in a
problem.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			So only if you can do justice, you
can marry more than one wife.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			Let's analyze what are the logical
and scientific reasons why Islam
		
00:05:54 --> 00:06:00
			allows a man to have more than one
wife. If we analyze male and
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			female, about an equal proportion,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:10
			but if you ask any medical doctor,
he will tell you that the female
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			* is a stronger six, it has got
more immunity than the male *.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22
			So in the pediatric age itself,
there are more deaths in males as
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			compared to females. As life goes
on.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:30
			There are deaths due to drug
addiction due to alcoholism
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:36
			due to wars that take place. In
all these cases, there are more
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			men who die as compared to the
woman.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			And the statistics tell us that
the average lifespan of a woman is
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:49
			more than the average lifespan of
man. Today in the world, there are
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:55
			more females as compared to males.
Except it's some third world
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			countries like India, because
female feticide and female
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			infanticide is practiced.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:07
			And there was a BBC report on the
program assignment. The topic was
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:14
			let her die. A British reporter by
the name of Emily Beckenham states
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:20
			that every day in India, more than
3000 fetuses have been aborted
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			after they're identified that the
females and if you multiply this
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:30
			by 365, more than a million
fetuses are being aborted every
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			year after they identify the
females.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			And according to Tabouleh to go
but hospital, out of dead females
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			born alive for up to death.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:48
			And if this female infanticide
stops. In India and the third
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			world countries in a couple of
decades, the female population it
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			will outnumber the male
population.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:00
			Today in the world, there are more
females as compared to males. In
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			New York alone, there are 1
million females more than males.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			In USA alone, there are 7.8
million females more than males.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			In UK alone, there are 4 million
females more than males. In
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			Germany alone, there are 5 million
females more than males. In Russia
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			alone, there are 9 million females
more than males. And God alone
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			knows how many million females are
more than males in a complete
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:26
			world.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:33
			If I agree with the non Muslim,
that every man should marry only
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			one wife. And suppose if your
sister or suppose if my sister
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:43
			happens to live in USA, and the
market saturated, every man has
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			found a life partner.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			And suppose if your sister or
suppose my sister
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			happens to be one of the 7.8
million females who have not found
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:59
			life partners, the only two
options she has is marry a man who
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			already has a wife or to become
public property. Someone might say
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			public property, such a harsh
word.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			It's the most sophisticated word I
can use.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			Having mistresses in America is
very common.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:20
			The American statistics tell us
that an average American he has a
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			different sexual partners before
he sat down with one. Some may
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:31
			have turned some may have 20. But
before an average American he gets
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			married. He has a different sexual
partners before he sat us down
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			with one. How many has after he
married the statistics doesn't
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:39
			tell that.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:46
			Having mistresses in America is
very common. Then 20 No problem.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			But having more than one wife does
not go down their throat.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:57
			You know, when a woman she's a
second wife. She has protection.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			She gets honor. She lives a
peaceful life.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			Life. Whereas when a woman, she's
a mistress, she lives a life of
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			disgrace, she has no protection.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			Therefore, in Islam, a man is
allowed to have more than one wife
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			in order to protect the woman.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			And under normal circumstances, no
woman would like to share her
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			husband, but a good Muslim ah, who
knows the situation of the world
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			would not mind to share her
husband in order to protect her
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			sister from becoming public
property.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			And if you ask any modest woman,
what would she choose to marry a
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:40
			man who already has a wife or to
become public property and
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			immodest woman, she would choose
the first time
