00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			The sixth most common question is
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			that
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			if Islam allows a man to have more
than one wife, why does Islam
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			prohibit a woman from having more
than one husband?
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			As far as this is concerned, Allah
subhanaw taala says in the gloves
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			for an incident Nyssa chapter
number four was number 24. While
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			more salah, twin and Nyssa.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			Do not marry a woman who already
is married,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			the Quran says that you cannot
marry a woman who already is
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			married.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			Before I discuss the real reason,
imagine there is a scarcity of
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			finding husbands. And if a woman
has more than one husband, this
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			will increase the scarcity. This
will multiply the problem. Let's
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			analyze what are the logical and
scientific reasons why Islam
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			prohibits a woman from having more
than one husband.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			If you analyze, when a man has
more than one wife, and the child
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			who's born out of wedlock, you can
easily identify the mother, as
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			well as the Father. Whereas when a
woman has more than one a husband
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			and the child who's born out of
wedlock, you will be able to
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			identify the mother, but you will
not be able to identify the
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			Father. And today, the
psychologist they tell us that it
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:33
			is very important for the child
identification of the parents,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			especially the Father.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			And if you happen to admit your
child at school, and if they ask
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			you, What is your father's name,
you might have to give two names.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			And today, medical science tells
us that man is more polygamous in
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			nature as compared to the woman
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			and are warious changes that take
place in a woman menstrual cycle,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			that she cannot do the role of
multiple wives simultaneously. But
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			as a man can do the role of
multiple husbands simultaneously.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			And if a woman has more than one
husband,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			then there are high chances of
Vendrell diseases being
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:22
			transmitted everywhere we
transmitted to the man. Whereas if
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			a man has more than one wife,
there are very less chances of
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			these diseases being transmitted.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			So even scientifically, it is not
a problem for a man to have more
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			than one wife. But it is
problematic for a woman to have
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			more than one husband.
