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