4 wives???

Same should be said bout the Men then. :chai:

Re: 4 wives???

its a misconception....sexual drives are not discriminated....
there are men with low sex drives..and there are women with high sex drives...
its a myth...
based on studies...women need as much sex as men do...
men have linear drives...women have..lets just say...its a winding road....
so the illusion makes it seem as if men have higher drives...in fact..the distance between start to finish is the same for both men and women...the only difference lies in how we get to our respective destinations.
:)

my point exactly so why use sex as an excuse for a man to have multiple wives.

Doesnt Islam also teach Sabr or does it not apply when it comes to dirty pervy men.

Re: 4 wives???

^but of course....sabr doesnt apply to men..they are allowed or read between the lines...distorting the original ideology(ies)..

i think we managed to drive all the man out of this thread :fatee:

Re: 4 wives???

pishhhhh yeah i know.....adrea..i really wish women would inform themselves..rather than fall prey to such bull crap....its sad..no wonder education (religious and the rest) is still the strongest tool against injustice...i mean..all the answers are in the Quran...people just dont bother reading it..

I agree, however I dont think education of such sort will do women from our culture any good.

Most of them are brought up in repressive surroundings, they are weak and lack strength to stand up for themselves. They just dont have it in them.

I know of such a woman personally, her husband has cheated on her her entire 30+ marriage life. I spoke to her recently after she bawled her eyes out at his latest adventures and intent to marry and transfer all the jaidad to the other woman.

I suggested before he does that, she should file for divorce so she and her children get their share of the jaidad before the husband goes and lavishes it on the other woman.
I also suggested she move all items of value like the car, her jewellery, her money to a safe location incase he brings the other woman home and she takes it all away from her.

She said she’s too weak to take such actions. So sad. But she is afraid her children would not get their share of the jaidad but she cannot do anything herself.

If it was me, i’d hire a hit man and have the husband killed. The scoundrel didnt even leave the maid alone, she caught him having sex with the maid in their bed. :mad:

Islam does not teach Sabr when it comes to sex. You are wrong here. Only thing islam teaches is to keep the sex halaal.

Prophet got angry at a person who says that I want to do ibaadat so much that I will never marry in my life

The Prophet story is quite touching really but it doesnt justify a man marrying numerous times to satisfy his sex drive like you stated earlier.

Without brining islam in the pciture, what other reasons/justifications in general do you think might be behind men marrying more than once

Re: 4 wives???

^tlk..have you skipped over the dozen reasons presented earlier??

for all the reasons, marrrying the person is not the only solution. So to justify 4 wives based on those does not make sense

and if those reasons are valid, then islam would've never stopped at 4. It would be, as many as you can take care of.

When you agree on the same justifcations for a woman to have multiple husbands i'll willingly listen to your justifications.

But if a woman can only have one husband at a time be it rain hail or shine, the smae rule should apply to the man too.

I dont see any reason why it should be any different.

Re: 4 wives???

men who wanna get married for more sex should just get married to rosy palms!

The reasons given donot apply to current world.

we arent at war, hence we donot have war widows and orphans.

Women arent second class citizens where if they are divorced or come from broken engagments they cannot take care of themselves.

So what present day justifications can you tell us that would justify a man's need to marry more than one at a time.

EXACTLY!

Sexual drive is a unversal reason, and the fact that there are always more women than men in the world.

And who declared it to be a Universal Reason??

Re: 4 wives???

Men :hehe:

So you are admitting that it is Men not God then??
