Q & A

Why does Islam allow men to marry more than one wife?

Islam permits men to marry more than one wife under the condition that they can treat all wives justly. This is mentioned in the Quran, Surah An-Nisa (4:3), where it allows men to marry up to four women but only if they can ensure fairness among them.

Is it obligatory in Islam for men to marry multiple wives?

No, it is not obligatory. Islam allows men to marry multiple wives but only if they can be just. If they fear they cannot be just, the Quran advises them to marry only one.

Why is the testimony of two women equal to one man's testimony in Islam?

In Islamic law, the testimony of two women is considered equal to that of one man in specific financial or legal contexts. This is not meant to imply inferiority but is interpreted as a protective measure, considering emotional and societal factors that might influence testimony.

Does the permission for polygamy exist in other religious texts apart from the Quran?

Yes, the speaker mentions that many religious texts such as the Bible, the Vedas, and others allow polygamy. However, unlike these texts, the Quran specifies that a man can only marry more than one wife if he can treat them equally and fairly.

What justification is given for allowing men to marry multiple women in societies with gender imbalances?

The speaker mentions gender imbalances in countries like the USA and Russia, where there are more women than men. In such cases, polygamy is presented as a solution to ensure that more women can have husbands instead of remaining unmarried or engaging in less socially acceptable relationships.

What are the two options mentioned for women in societies where polygamy is not allowed?

The speaker suggests that in societies where polygamy is not allowed, women might face two options: either marry a man who already has a wife or become 'public property,' which implies leading a less respected life. Polygamy is presented as the better alternative.

Why might a man consider marrying another wife according to Islamic reasoning?

A man might marry another wife for reasons such as his first wife being unable to bear children, having a chronic illness, or being unable to fulfill marital obligations. Instead of divorcing the first wife, Islam allows him to marry another while maintaining the rights of the first.

How does Islam ensure fairness when a man marries multiple wives?

Islam emphasizes that if a man marries multiple wives, he must treat them with justice and equality. If he cannot do so, then he should marry only one. This is derived from the Quranic verse in Surah An-Nisa (4:3).

Does the Quran encourage or mandate polygamy for all men?

No, the Quran does not encourage or mandate polygamy for all men. It is only permitted if a man can ensure justice among his wives, and if he fears he cannot, he is advised to marry only one.

What examples from other religious scriptures are provided to justify polygamy?

The speaker gives examples from religious figures like Abraham, who had three wives, and Solomon, who had 700 wives, as evidence that polygamy is not unique to Islam but also existed in other religious traditions like Christianity and Judaism.
