Sahar:I think you skipped my post above when I explained the two verses.

Allah is not asking men to be perfectly just in all matters.

Even if this logic is taken as true then even one marriage should not occur since many men cannot make even one wife happy all the time!

@Nutwer

Diwana, perfectly reminded intution about the that verse to Sahar. Sahar please read and comprehend fully.
Allah is not forbidding taking up of 4 wives. He is just warning of the due responsibility and accountibility if you are.
Most men are cleary familiar with the responsibilty, hence the

@Sahar02

Verse 4:3 puts a condition on polygamy. And that’s ignoring the fact that it’s referring to widows and orphans in context. Still the condition is clear that if you cannot treat each wife justly, you should only marry one. In verse 4:129 Allah SWT tells men they cannot treat multiple wives justly. Therefore they are incapable of fulfilling the condition that allows for polygamy.

It’s very clear and simple. In fact, Allah has explained to us the reason to avoid polygamy. It reminds me of the rule against consuming intoxicants. Initially we were forbidden from coming to prayers drunk and then told to avoid intoxication completely.

@TLK

I agree that it may be, like Talaq which is halal but not appreciated, but still it is allowed and its not a sin on its own. if you don take care of all your wives equally then that is sin.

No, because talaq is allowed, tho frowned upon. The Quran clearly states that if you cannot fulfill the condition, you cannot enter into a polygamous relationship. It even goes so far as to state that you CANNOT fulfill that condition. Human males are incapable of it. But they are capable of incredible hubris and think they know better than the word of God, and therefore they continue in these polygamous marriages, despite Allah SWT’s explanation against them.
