I feel sorry for MD if he is hurt of my reply but he was repeatedly asking a question, rather, a demand to allow four husbands to a woman which counters the very nature of humans and agreed by all as unethical. Later I argued why Islam gives such a right to the men. Even though polygamy and Islam are considered synanymous by many, the fact remains that it is practiced by the men in all religions in some form or the other. In west man has several marriages if not several wives living together. In islamic community however, many muslim orthodox families consider women as caretakers of the family and give less importance on their professional education. Thay raise their female children with that view point, not to earn. As a result muslim women are less confident in pursuing life alone and do thier best to discourage the practice of polygamy. But the trend is changing now. there are lot of opportunities for women to make a living for themselves and not depend on the husband. The same is leading to more divorces leaving burden on kids......
