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.
