00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			The sixth most common question or
misconception that is there in the
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:09
			minds of non Muslims is that if
Islam allows a man to have more
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:14
			than one wife, why can't a woman
have more than one husband?
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			Allah subhanaw taala says the
Glorious Quran in certain Nyssa
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			chapter four verse 24. Well, most
anatomy missa that the woman who's
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			already buried, it is prohibited
to marry her. Let us analyze what
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:34
			are the logical reasons why Islam
prohibits Muslim woman from having
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			more than one husband? Why is
polyandry prohibited in Islam?
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			Based on the worst of the Glorious
Quran? We understand that
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			polyandry describe it. So, let us
analyze what are the logical
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			reasons why polyandry is
prohibited in Islam. From the
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			Glorious Quran, we understand
polyandry is prohibited. The first
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:58
			is that if a man has more than one
wife, you can easily identify the
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			mother, as well as the father of
the child.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			But if a woman has more than one
husband, and if a child is born,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			then you will be able to identify
the mother but it would be
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			difficult to identify the Father.
And if you happen to admit the
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			child in school, and when they
asked what his name of the father
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			of the child would have to give
two names. I'm aware that certain
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			people might argue and see that
there is DNA and genetic testing.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			Previously, it wasn't there. But
even if I agree that there's
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			gender identity testing, it is not
accurate. But even if I agree that
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			it is accurate, this is not the
only reason why Islam prohibits a
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			Muslim woman from having more than
one husband. There are several
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:43
			other reasons. The second, Ban is
more polygamous in nature, as
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			compared to a woman, the park,
there were these behavioral
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			changes that take place in a woman
for example, the menstrual cycle,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			the postnatal bleeding, and
various other changes, because of
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			which she will not be able to do
the role of multiple wives,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			whereas the man can do the role of
multiple husbands. The fourth,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:09
			that if a man has more than one
wife, that are very less chances
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			of Weatherill, or sexually
transmitted diseases being
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			transmitted, that is STDs. Whereas
if a woman has more than one
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			husband, there are high chances of
these Weatherill and sexually
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			transmitted diseases being
transmitted and it will be
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			transmitted back to the man.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			So even logically, it's
problematic for a woman to have
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			more than one husband. Due to
these various logical reasons we
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			understand the reasoning. Why
Allah subhanaw taala has
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			prohibited a woman from having
more than one husband
