Look dude I know there are more men than women in the world. But the law remains the law. Just as the law permitting Muslim men to marry Christians and Jews remain the same and will not be changed up till the day of judgement. These laws will simply not be put to the test most of the time...

As a side note Islam allows women to make no-polygamy stipulations into their marriage contracts. This means that the husband forgoes his right to polygamy and the marriage will remain monogamous, else the wife can annul the marriage. The Prophet's daughters and female companions of the Prophet...

Shariah is a set of laws that govern us and were created by the one who knows us better than ourselves. He knows what is best for us even if we may not like it. We Muslims submit to Allah's will and we know that he knows what is best for us, though we may not realise it ourselves.

Women's testimony is equal to a man's in Islam. In some cases a man's testimony is not required at all and its the woman's testimony that is required. It all depends on the case. In some legal areas a man's testimony is worth more than a woman's [such as in financial matters and criminal...

The issue is not just about establishing paternity. In Islam the man is solely responsible for maintenance and provision. In polyandry a woman can not be the provider for multiple spouses. A woman can also not host more than one man's child at the same time. Most women would naturally feel...

Maybe because Allah SWT knew that its not possible for any man to ever be just with more than four wives. Four is the maximum any man can go in his efforts to be just. Any more than that is impossible.

I don't find polygamy 'abhorrent', I just don't like it personally for myself. Everyone has their own definition of love and their own ideals of marriage. Mine fits in perfectly with monogamy. That may not be the case with everyone as some may have different ideals and perspectives. There is...

Islam places a lot of emphasis on paternity being established. Prior to the 21st century there was no DNA testing so the children born from a woman with multiple husbands could not possibly identify the father of her child. At least when a man has multiple wives, the paternity of a child is known.

Islam permits it, does not order it. Islam permits marriage for a Muslim man to a chaste Jew or Christian for all we care. How many Muslim men do you see making use of that right? And Islam actually restricted polygamy. Before the advent of Islam people would have way more than four wives...

Does Islam promote polygamy? Does it encourage it? It merely permits it. Islam permits Muslim men to marry chaste Jewish and Christian women. But that does not happen much though. . The conditions for polygamy are such that it turns off many men. And its not like all men will become polygamous...

Excuse me but more than 60 years of independence has moulded a type of culture unique to our country.

Islam does not permit killing of brothers [or any innocent for that matter]. Stop lying about our faith.

Look bhai, even I don't like it. I am a one-woman man and I don't ever want to practise it. That does not mean I criticize my religion for it. Its not fardh after all. Islam allows a man to get married to a chaste Christian or Jewess. I don't know why and I personally do not like it nor will I...

Sadly the comments from our own Muslims here is extremely sad. It displays the mental maturity of forum members. I can't expect anything of high moral stanard from Hindu members [just for trivia, Hindus have historically been more polygamous than Muslims and prior to six decades ago practised...
