Hi Folks
It is a misunderstanding that Islam has permitted polygamy, to marry
and keep four wives at a time(false concept). The fundamental
principle is to have one wife at a time. The Quranic instructions that
if one decides to marry another woman in place of his existing wife he
has to divorce as per the given procedure and this itself clarifies
that no one is allowed to have more than one wife at one time; Quran
chapter 4 verse 20
This should not lead to think that whenever a person wants to marry
another woman in place of his existing wife, he might divorce her and
go for another marriage for *** enjoyment or for other reasons. Second
marriage is not permitted until and unless differences between husband
and wife have reached the climax, ending up by declaring talaq
(divorce) and the wife is divorced. To have more than one wife up to a
maximum of four at a time has been permitted under extra-ordinary
cir***stances and for valid reasons. For example as a result of war
when a considerable number of women became widows including those of
very young age, and large number of children become orphans, and when
their economic, social, ethical, and other problems cannot be solved
by any other satisfactory means then Islamic State can allow an
exception to the general rule of monogamy. Such an exemption has to
fulfill two conditions.
* Such a person will have to do justice and give equal treatment to
all his wives.
* He should be economically sound enough to bear the burden of such
a large family. Of course consent of the first wife in this matter
is necessary.If anyone of these conditions is not fulfilled,
permission to go for next marriage is not granted and one should
stick to the rule of one wife; Quran chapter 4 Verse 3
Quran clearly discuss about the on going sujbect in this verse. Rather
at another place the Quran says that despite their strong desire it
would not be possible for a husband to be fair and just among women
(wives). One should not be inclined wholly to one wife leaving the
other in a state of suspension, like one who remains neither divorced
nor undivorced; Quran chapter 4 Verse 129
