Ramadan. How many Muslim wives will be agreeable to their husbands having 2 to 4 wives?

Question

what would be the reasons if not agreeable and what would u do if yr husband does not listen?

Answer 1

If Allah has made something Halal (legal) who has the right to make it haram (illegal)? I think definitely a wife would be jealous. The prophets wives were jealous.

And there is no time limit on Islam. Allah sent this religion to be practiced till the day of judgement. So the reason why a man would practice polygeny then would be the same reason as now.

By the way I hear people say the wives have to agree. Where did they get this from? Is this the sunnah? I never heard or came across Allah's messenger asking his previous wives to marry again. Did he instruct us to? Please show me where it said he did. If you cant why should it apply to his followers?

Answer 2

are you serious? man  i think its hard enough for a man to take care of a one wife...don't u think? yeah even today

Answer 3

The prophet Muhammad's wives didn't mind.

Answer 4

I do not know but my 4 wives do not dare to open their mouths

Answer 5

If he wants 2 or 4 wives its his job to make them agreeable or he will suffer the consequences of one or more unhappy wife!

Answer 6

Salam my dear friend.I think there are not so many although there is no statistic data about it.The small portion of wives allowed their husbands to take another wives caused of certain reasons such as have long illness or infertility so they could not give births.My neighbour

a high educated muslim wife agreed her husband to take the second wife because she could not be pregnant after more than 5 years of her marriage.The reason most muslim women are not agreed their husbands to take another wives,because they do not their loves be divided to another women.They want the love of each of of their husbands be intact belong to each of their wives only .They convince that their husbands could not treat them fairly.

Answer 7

i will if she does all the house work and take care of  kids...)

its better to get married  then to have affirs dont you think... do you  know a real christian cant divorce his wife , the marriage is forever.. why dont  christians discuss the flaws intheir religion rather attacking islam all the time, why are they afraid of islam?

Answer 8

I am sure nobdoy would agree.

But if she get other advantages like, rich husband, popular husband, if she won't find any suitable husband.

I mean there can be many issues when woman would compromise on her natural jealousy.

Answer 9

i would be impossible today. the husband must treat all equal. also the 1st wife must agree to a 2nd, the 1st and 2nd must agree for a 3rd etc.

you need to understand that everything the was done during the prophet's (pbuh) time is carried on today. but back then it was almost neccasary. woman lost husbands during war and could not support her kids so her bro in law or some other guy married her to support her and the kids.
