    So the reason why men were allowed to marry more than 1 woman were becoz there were few men? SO you saying that in the near future if the table was turned and there were few women, then they too will be allowed to marry more than 1 man?

      IF U wanna say why not polyandry

      polyandry will make sense only if all of the following were true at a given time

      *Men are considered inferior to woman in a society and a woman's word counts more than a man's.
      *Women are the majority bread earners and men arent allowed to.
      *Man has no say in any affairs.
      *Women are more physically stronger than Men
      *Men are dependent financially and socially on woman, and have no means to carry on their own.
      *Men outnumber women in a large proportion.(41 or more)
      *the widow man can not absolutely provide for himself or for his children, without a woman's help.
      *there are no organisations and other sources to help the desperate man.

      Since we know, all of the above cant be true, Polyandry wont make sense.
      The idea is not to disintegrate the family system(one husband-one wife-their children)

          well, Jaxal, all of those together cant be true ever, can it?
          For one, men are physically stronger than women. Now, dont say there are a few strong women. Its a fact that man is stronger. )

              Well, I suppose so, if the man can not exsist on his own, without a woman's support.(which i see clearly as impossible)

                Well, I suppose so

                I will assume that is not 'complete agreement'. Do you feel the same way about a man marrying more than 1 woman 1400 years ago? Or do you completely agree with that?

                  Jaxal, it is a complete agreement. But the reason I said 'I suppose so' coz I dont see all of that happening. ) It sounds purely hypothetical. Though the idea does sound weird.)
                  And I am not in favour of polygamy at all. But I suppose, those days, there was no other way out.
                  Peace!

                    .

                    Allah says in Quran You will never be able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire.

                    So how many women can you marry despite the above clear warning?

                    Peace

                    .

                    ONE

                      Let us see what you have to say in your earlier post

                      well, I'm not going to be side tracked with a story that happened about 1400 years ago when humans had close to nill compared to what we have today, just forget the past unless it is related to a verse in the Quran you want to discuss, I don't think that Aysha marriage to the great prophet was discussed in the Quran

                      Humans had close to nill?? Amazing, you follow a Book that is 1400 hundred years old which was revealed through a Human,

                      Look don't manipulate my words, I don't have to be that specific, I mean technology

                      got it?

                      but you think to the persons for whom it was revealed were close to nil.

                      yep they had nothing just a few donkeys and camels as a method of transporation and sure they managed to design a few cloths and a few swords

                      what else you reckon they had, of yeh they built tents

                      Besides have you ever heared the names of great greek philosphers, the roman poets etc. I think not, otherwise you would have not compared the ancient people with Nil.

                      the philosphers for are a bunch of confused atheists and bound to Hell

                      Related to a verse in the Quran?
                      I think I got engaged with the wrong person!

                      you should bail out then

                      How many verses do you need to be pointed out to you which deal with wives and lives of the marriage life of Prophet?

                      what is the point from your question?, I'm not talking about the prophet marriages in here, prophets are dealt diffently by God, unlike me and you

                      it seems it is the only option.....

                      a muslim man can marry up to four wives.....

                      Allah advises us to marry only one wife

                      These all are your quotes so what is Final according to your opnion

                      1. One wife?
                      2. Up to four wives?
                      3. One wife and and up to four widows with kids?
                      4. One wife and Slaves who are captured during war?
                      5. One wife at a time up to four?

                      again trying to be smart and manipulate my words

                      1. One wife?

                      if a 100% submitter and adhere to Allah advice to marry on one 43
                      2. Up to four wives?

                      1. One wife and and up to four widows with kids?

                      where the hell you got this from? the above is a contasictory in one sentence

                      well if the husband didnlt care about point 1, then they can marry up to 4 BUT ONLY WITH ORPHANS

                      1. One wife and Slaves who are captured during war?

                      again you are a very good manipulator, i donlt know whyu I'm responding to you actyually but let's see

                      I never talked about slaves, I don't see the Quran ever talking about marrying slaves

                      1. One wife at a time up to four?

                      never said that

                      I think you are confused and trying to make others confuse.

                      oh yeh like many confused and horny muslim men who deceive their wives and treat them like sex objects and marry even for sex

                      you are the one that is highly confused, you didn't even offer your understanding to verse 43

                      now please tell us your insight about 43, possibly you can convince a confused muslim like me

                      a silly question and I decline to answer it

                      Well I don't know who is silly here?

                      if you don't know know, then let me tell you it is you wink

                      look mister quran know it all, I did not accuse you of not reading the Quran because i don't know you, so please don't commit this childish crap and accuse me as such because you don't know me

                      Well I am starting to know you now.

                      cool, but possibly I don't want to know you? please consider it as a possiblity

                        the solution is very simple

                        if any man wants to marry more than one, go for it

                        if any woman wants to marry more than one, go for it (I reckon it will be a hard task to find husbands that allow to share their wives, but good luck any way)

                        I'm a man who married one and will only marry one at a time in my life as the Quran told me

                        "If you fear not to be just between the wives then MARRY ONLY ONE",

                        and I declare that I'm one of those men who fear NOT TO BE JUST BETWEEN THE WIVES so I chose to marry only ONE, I recognised that the Quran also said "We can not be just between the wives even if it was our desire" and really Allah has summed it up beautifully

                        peace to all

                            Salaam Ahmed,

                            you wroteif any woman wants to marry more than one, go for it (I reckon it will be a hard task to find husbands that allow to share their wives, but good luck any way)

                            Yeah right but poor women must share their husband!? shock

                            One partner at a time is the way we should go then no jelousy will occur because that can kill the relationship.

                            Peace Sis Majidah

                                Salam

                                I want to know, what if the first wife objects to her husband marrying again?

                                Peace

                                The above should fall under "not being fair between the wives", I believe if he ignored her rejection "then he already started the process by not being fair", consequently she is entitled to seek divorce under Islamic laws if he insist to marry

                                if you remember the verse 43 "If you fear not to be just between the women then marry one"

                                now under the circumstance you described, if the husband ignored his first wife plea not to marry, then we are dealing with a man who is not even fearing to be unjust rather he delibertly and intensionaly seeking unjust, and this should entitle the first wife to seek divorce

                                And finally I believe the second, third and fourth wives MUST have children to care for"no father is there to support them and their struggling mother" and if this is not the case, then the first wife should have another good and lawful reason to seek divorce

                                Allah knows best

                                  Salaam Ahmed,

                                  you wroteif any woman wants to marry more than one, go for it (I reckon it will be a hard task to find husbands that allow to share their wives, but good luck any way)

                                  Salam sister

                                  Yeah right but poor women must share their husband!? shock

                                  I never suggested that, but you are right, and I beleive the unfairness, flaw, and deception in the Islamic world are causing this to happen unfortuantlly

                                  One partner at a time is the way we should go then no jelousy will occur because that can kill the relationship.

                                  Peace Sis Majidah

                                  That's the way sister, sounds very reasonable to me and surely is the most compatible understanding with the Quran "If you fear not to be just with women, then marry one", "you will not be able to be fair with women even if it was your strongest desire to be fair"

                                  Conclusion

                                  True and sincere Muslims men "100% True submitters to Allah laws" should marry only one according to the clear Arabic Quran

                                  Peace sister

                                    Yes, I agree

                                    Sounds very true and intelligent for a believer in Allah and his scripture.

                                    Peace Sis Majidah

                                      Hi all,

                                      Polygamy is just one other issue that men of today abuse, to satisfy Lust.
                                      Its sad, God's just ways are so abused by people claiming to be His believers. (

                                        Though men have always been considered the forefront of such chauvinism, women are not too far behind in such trade-offs, specially in western societies. As a matter of fact, women excel men in many areas of gender superiority, don't you think?
