Assalamu Alaikum,
I was just reading a blog about this sister going through a polygamous marriage, and her husband not be just between his wives.
Subhan'ALLAH, its a right of the muslim men in Islam to take 1,2,3,4 wives if they wanted to, but he would have to treat them justly. He would have to provide and maintain for them. If the brother didn't, he would have to answer to God on the Day of Judgment..subhan'ALLAH.
I've heard many instances in which many sisters have gone through marriages with being a co-wife or having co-wives. Many times the brother doesn't provide, or does it for his nafs-lower self and desires.
I can't say that a brother can't have multiple wives because GOD allowed this for them.
This came about when many men during the time of the Prophet Muhammad(Sallalahu alayhe wassalam) went out to war, and many women were without providers, so men took up multiple wives to care for them, and provide for them.
Is it hard? I'm sure it is.

Salaam alaikum,
ReplyDeleteI personally would not want to be involved in a polygamous marriage. Even though men are allowed to have more than one wife, he must fulfill all the rights and duties these wives deserve equally. Also, it is important to remember that just because it is allowed doesn't mean that it is a requirement; it is perfectly fine to just have one wife. If men decide to take another wife, they definitely need to check their intentions for doing it; if they want another wife just to get more sex or as a "free live-in maid". without considering the woman's feelings or realizing the responsibilities they are taking on, I think they should seriously reconsider.
Assalamu ALaikum Banana Anne, I totally agree with you. Its a poor excuse of the man to get a second wife, or 3rd or 4th just to please himself or to have clean the house. No, its not a requirement for men to have more than one wife, but the option is there for them.
