Ali,

Is it possible for a woman to have four husbands? If not, please explain why. Many thanks,

Regards,

James

Under Islamic Law women are not permitted four husbands.

There are religious social and scientific reasons for this.

Qur'an is the only religious book, on the face of this earth, that contains the phrase 'marry only one'. There is no other religious book that instructs men to have only one wife. In none of the religious scriptures like the Vedas, the Ramayan, the Mahabharat, the Geeta or the Bible does one find a restriction on the number of wives. According to these scriptures one can marry as many as one wishes. It was only later, that the Hindu priests and the Christian Church restricted the number of wives to one.

In the USA, women outnumber men by 7.8 million. New York alone has one million more females as compared to the number of males, and of the male population of New York one-third are gays i.e sodomites. The USA as a whole has more than twenty-five million gays. This means that these people do not wish to marry women. Great Britain has four million more females as compared to males. Germany has five million more females as compared to males. Russia has nine million more females than males. God alone knows how many million more females there are in the whole world as compared to males.

Even if every man got married to one woman, there would still be more than thirty million more females in USA who would not be able to get husbands (considering that America has twenty five million gays). There would be more than four million females in Great Britain 5 million females in Germany and nine million females in Russia alone who would not be able to find a husband.

What a perfect attempt to sugercoat barbaric and illogical Sharia Law. Any reasonable reader would read through the coating though...

James, I think I can answer that.

The primary reason against having multiple husbands is that it isn't allowed in the laws of Abrahamic faiths (I.e: Islam, Christianity and Judaism). The belief is that the Creator knows what is best for His creation. And so when all else fails, we read the directions and follow them as this is what will result in happiness and a good ending.

aamir,

The phrase from the Koran is "THEN marry only one" and follows the words explaining that polygamy is permitted with several restrictions.

It appears that perhaps you are unaware that many gays in the US and elsewhere are in fact female and they have little issue with partnering other women.

Finally, women have a longer life-expectancy in many western countries which will account for your implied excess of women.

This is what I thought on hearing about Osama bin Laden’s killing- -One needs a goal in life, but what if the goal is twisted and evil? Who decides whether it is right or wrong? The obvious criterion is that a personal or a company or a nation’s goal should not be such as to harm or jeopardise the life, property and peace of someone else. In our personal lives we pursue wealth and professional success at the expense of our family and our own health. We gobble up our own lives like gluttons only to regret later our profligate ways with our life span and our physical health.
I always maintain that the only meaning of life is to survive with grace and selflessness. It is easy to get up and destroy a portion of the city, or to kill twenty people in anger. It is much more difficult to stop, turn around and take a gentler sustainable path in life. It is tougher to be Obama than Osama. The difference lies in the fact that Obama is behaving in a measured manner keeping in mind the good and the opinion of all right thinking people of the world. Osama meanwhile was playing to the gallery which unfortunately for him was only inhabited by misguided and ugly fanatics. The B in Obama has eliminated the S in Osama so that is the end of a lot BS thankfully. One should thus always contemplate the good of all humanity before seeking a goal in life.

I would like to answer to James .It is not permissable for a woman to be polyandrous.

If a woman marries more husbands whose name will be the child given.Islam prohibits polyandry for the same reason .there are many people in eastern cultures following marrying more than one man , but Islam strictly prohibits to sharing of wife.

The reason man is allowed to marry is to stop adultery coz man biologically never rests on his natural desire. like hunger, thirst and reproductive aspects.

Please understand a woman is made by Allah as needing rest after birth of its child and eventually will not be available to his man .

So marrying more than one woman is socially , morally and spiritually accepted and prescribed to banish adultery, debauchery and lewdness

Ali:
The Question from James was the following.:
"Is it possible for a woman to have four husbands? If not, please explain why"

Aamir Answers:

Scientific reasons?? Which Scientist said that? In which century?

And Shukir answers..
"The belief is that the Creator knows what is best for His creation."

I have never read anywhere that "The Creator has said the above Statement". Men have been twisting and interpreting religion to suit their own whims and fancies. Even if 1 % of the earth's population is honestly convinced without being a hypocrite by the above answers, I'll rest my case on this topic of Men can marry 4 wives and women cannot do the same in the name of religion,social and scientific reasons.

Ismail... Your response to James which is the following:

"Please understand a woman is made by Allah as needing rest after birth of its child and eventually will not be available to his man ....".
So marrying more than one woman is socially , morally and spiritually accepted and prescribed to banish adultery, debauchery and lewdness".

Never, Never, Ever heard this theory even from a hard core fundamentalist. Hello??? which century, which age are you living in? You mean to say that the woman does not have any sexual desire after the birth of a child? and Allah said that???? Have your opinion but please don't say Allah said this. I have seen men having more than one wife fooling around with women in the Bars totally drunk. Don't give me this baloney of adultery and debauchery. I have seen these men in the Middle East, Europe, Asia and the US. You must be totally naive or just follow what is told to you. Come out of hypocrisy.

Re your statistics amir ......... There is just one million more women than men in the uk. Until the age of 31 there're more men than women. Women live longer cos men die younger. If this were an Islamic country would your young mates like to marry the old ladies that are mainly 70 plus to make sure they are not left on their own before they die?

so hows the aggreement if you will get hitch with other nationals?is there any possibilities that they would have the same form of arrangement???
