Re: Men who are not against polygamy

@Sahar02

My stance is actually in line with that of my faith’s. In the Quran it clearly states that men can marry more than once in the case of taking care of widows and orphans, but only if they treat each wife equally and justly. And then it goes on to state that they surely cannot do that (sura 4, verse 129). So I know there have been generations of men justifying polygamy and twisting and ignoring the Quran to make it work, but they are going against the Quran when they do it. The Prophet SAW was better than all other men, but the Quran clearly states the guidelines for the rest of us, and polygamist men break the rules each time. They will have Allah SWT to answer to.

Surah 4 verse 129 does not negate multiple marriage. Right after it says, “you will not be able to treat them equally” it says “do not leave ONE hanging”.

The Almighty says: “You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married)”. [Surah 4:129]

Pikthal: Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so): But turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
