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
