00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			The sixth most common question or
misconception that is there in the
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			mind is non Muslims is that if
Islam allows a man to have more
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			than one wife, why can't a woman
have more than one husband?
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Glorious Quran in surah missa
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			Chapter Four summer 24. Well
maxing out when we saw that the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			woman who's already buried it's
prohibited to marry her. So, let
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			us analyze what are the logical
reasons why polyandry is
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			prohibited in Islam. From the
Glorious Quran, we understand
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:38
			polyandry is prohibited. The first
is that if a man has more than one
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			wife, you can easily identify the
mother as well as the father of
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			the child.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			But if a woman has more than one
husband, and if a child is born,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			then you will be able to identify
the mother but it would be
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			difficult to identify the Father.
And if you happen to admit the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			child's school, and then they
asked what is name of the father
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			of the child will have to give two
names. I'm aware that certain
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			people might argue and see that
there is DNA and genetic testing.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			Previously, it wasn't there. But
even if I agree that there's
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			gender identity testing, it is not
accurate, but even if I agree that
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			it is accurate, this is not the
only reason why Islam prohibits a
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			Muslim woman from having more than
one husband. There are several
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			other reasons
