“If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.”Surah Nisa (4) ayat (3)
This verse clearly states that a many may marry up to four women, on the condition that if they can not deal with them justly then MARRY ONLY ONE.
The Quran is the only religious text in the world, which has the phrase “Marry only one” Religions like Christianity/Judaism do not have this, rather people have just accepted that they should marry just one and even went to the extremes of making it apart of the religion to have one wife. But this was not the teachings of either Jesus or Moses. In fact in the bible we see that the prophets did practice polygamy.
In the world we live in right now there are more women then men, more men go to war, more men go to jail, more men are killed due to violence and gangs. Not only that but it is a fact that men die of old age before women do. So this will obviously lead to some imbalance in the world we live in.
So if every female got married to every male in the world, we still have a third left of the females who are unmarried. What will we do with these women? Let the dogs have them? Besides the fact that there are more females throughout the world, it can safely be said that well over the majority of women do not want to be a 2nd 3rd and definitely not the 4th wife of a man. Neither will the first wife want to share her husband. On the contrary a really devout Muslim wife will accept this, and there are many, because she doesn’t just look at it from one perspective. Islam is huge on brother/sisterhood, there are women out there who feel like they are obeying their God and helping out a sister.
Now the question rises why would a sister want to be the 2nd? How is this even possible. If you live in the west this will seem extremely illogical until you open your mind to the fact that there are places on this earth which are not as stable financially as the west may seem to be. For example a country like Zimbabwe, or places in the middle east there definitely are women whom which poverty has struck them so hard. They may have lost there family to war , they might have an abusive husband and have children. This law is a huge mercy towards them because it LEGALLY allows them to have a husband.
