did Muhammad really have 11 wives?

Salaam Shamsul-Arefin,
No, you don't have to marry a widow to support her but of course you can also marry her, why not!?
why the need to marry? He already has a life partner. If helping is the main purpose than why marry?
The prophets wives was like the mothers of his ummah so therefore no one else could marry them after his death.
Peace Sis Majidah
Doesnt make any sense........his ummah ? we are not following any human character here. Why give extra privilege to him only?? Thats pure discrimination. It sounds more like a ego thing....."I have married this girl so nobody can marry her even if I die or divorce her..!!"" It sounds soo childish and selfish also...whats so disrespectful abt it ?
doesnt make any sense to me....
peace

ShamsulI just dont get one thing..........Why a person needs to marry a widow to support her?? Cant she be supported without being married ?
She can be supported and should be. If she approves of being polygynised though, then why are we having problems with it? This is not a forced marriage. A man who can afford to polygynise and a woman who doesn't mind being polygynised.
Why he had so many wives..?? I just cant accept it... and nobody can marry his divorced wife ?? LOL...thats soo personal mann
Ok. Perhaps this is just your value system getting in the way. I have no problem with an-nabiy, whom I consider to be similar to the alpha male, having more than one spouse. If you read al-quraan, you will find that women actually go to him asking to be married ( 'Wa Amra'atan Mu'uminatan 'In Wahabat Nafsah Lilnnabyi 'In 'Arda An-Nabyu 'An Yastankiah - 33/50). Do you feel you have the right to tell such women no ? Im sure you dont want to be a compeller yourself ?
