So, in other words, there is nothing specifically FORBIDDING it in the Quran, right? I have searched the Internet looking for anything about the Quran and polyandry.
People will quickly state that Islam definitely forbids it but then cannot point to a specific verse in the Quran except this issue about "financial responsibility". Nonetheless, despite the fact that there IS NOT a clear prohibition in the Quran, all Muslims will hold to this belief.
If Muslims can take some verse about financial responsibility of the man in the house and somehow prove that polyandry is forbidden based upon that, then.....
Why can't Christians take the example of Adam and Eve (<i>clearly a marriage</i>), the fact that God COMMANDED people not to MULTIPLY WIVES and the fact that Jesus referenced a MAN and a WOMAN to say that those things are AGAINST multiple husbands AND wives?
At least the references I mentioned are specifically talking about <b>WHO</b> is involved in a marriage.
Islam is only talking about money in the marriage.
