Multiple Wives...

Re: Multiple Wives...

bad, since islam doesnt allow it.

Re: Multiple Wives...

its other peoples lives, they cant all be as perfect as u and ur finance...besides ur finance seems like a pushover.

Re: Multiple Wives...

When I speak reality, religion and things what your future husband is/can do, I am narrow-minded.. Following are my observation about you-

1) you can't handle the truth
2) You are possesive.
3) You are against Islamic principles completely.

Re: Multiple Wives...


true, if i was marring for money and children only i would not care if he had 3 other wives...but i love him, so it's different!

Re: Multiple Wives…

:blush:chacha, i like you!

sorry, you mistake the care and attraction that women show to men with LOTS of money, for love:D

sure, saudi guys who have Billions of dollars can easily satisfy 4 wives (and multiple slaves :cb:)
but quas are you multimillionaire to financially satisfy a woman who only want your cash??

Re: Multiple Wives...

hold up, first Allah swt tells that u can have up to four wives if u treat them equally, prophet and his companions had multiple wives, and then Allah swt tells us that you can never treat them equally, im confused, anyone else?

Re: Multiple Wives...


Impulse suggested it could be a test

i'm very confused about it too...

Re: Multiple Wives...

Afridi: I don't quite understand either, but maybe it's a bit like how the ruling to not have something intoxicating came later, based on the fact that people were getting drunk, even during prayers. In theory this would be allowed, but human nature makes it impossible.

I think.

Re: Multiple Wives...

seems contradictory, thanks for the guppies for making me question my faith.

Re: Multiple Wives...

.

Re: Multiple Wives…

Afridi: :rolleyes: There’s plenty that we cannot understand, that doesn’t mean you need to question your faith, but rather your understanding of it. Don’t blame guppies.

Re: Multiple Wives...

^ have you ever asked him whether he will marry someone else in the future.. lets say one day he comes back with another wife.. what will you do? I asked you before.. unless he has given you talaq.. you are his wife.. rt?

Re: Multiple Wives...

excuse you? you are sinning just by saying we are not muslims!! How dare you say that to me? May Allah have mercy on you!!

Get this straight...i nvr opposed the concept of it!! I would nvr oppose ANYTHING that Allah (SWT) has made halal for us. I have respect for those women who can handle and/or agree to putting themselves in such a situation. I simply stated that I myself wouldnt be able to deal with it. Divorce just like marrying multiple wives IS allowed in Islam you know.

Once again may Allah have mercy on you for calling us non-Muslims. For you have just done something that is totally unacceptable in the eyes of Allah. You have just lost your right to even argue about marrying multiple wives. apparently you dont even know proper Islamic etiquettes...what would u know about keeping your wife/wives happy!

Re: Multiple Wives…

exactly…
afridi…there are many things that ordinary people like you and I cant comprehend. doesnt mean you have to question your faith…and certainly dont put the blame on others because you wont be able to get away with doing that on the day of Judgement. Seek knowledge. If you dont understand …ask someone who can explain it to you. Certainly Im not making it up…feel free to read the Quran and that verse on your own sometime.

also afridi just to explain the verses briefly…it’s not a contradiction…for Allah doesnt contradict. it simply means that there are possibilities of abusing Allah’s law (marrying more then one wife)..for which there is severe punishment.

Re: Multiple Wives...

I have...just the only way it doesn't seem contradictory is if the part where it says take up to four wives if you can treat them with equal fairness means if you were to keep them happy, I've read both of those verses in several different english translations, and I came to this conclusion...anyways I dont believe in blind faith, I want to know the answers, if anyone knows plz let me know, rather than tip toe around it.

Re: Multiple Wives...

i added something to my above post at the end. plz read. to treat them equally isnt just limited to keeping them happy. it mean keeping EVERYTHING equal. financially...emotionally...EVERYTHING!

Re: Multiple Wives...

^^ hahaha

Re: Multiple Wives...

what so funny bout what i said?

Re: Multiple Wives...

Yah, it' s contradictory then, so plz explain. I know Allah swt doesn't contradict, so i need explanation.

Re: Multiple Wives...

It is Krishna. Rama was strictly ek-patni (one wife only).
