Assalamualkum wa rahamatullahi wa barakatahu Malik,

my question today why in Islam man can marry 4 women ?[/quote:6349eb039e]How are u brother Malik? How is it there in Holland? I heard Holland is famous for its windmills, did u see a lot of them around?You asked a great question brother Malik, for one thing i know that women live longer and men die at a younger age then most women. If u have ever seen a demographic pyramid, then you'll see that women actully live longer in just about every society imaginable! Did u know that only 5% of animals speices are monogamos, no doubt we too are animals...well intellegent animals .

That will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice." (Qur'an 4:3)[/quote:6349eb039e]This is only a part of what the Quran says on this topic, no doubt there are more, maybe some of the other brothers and sisters on this site might be able to provide you with other lines from the Quran.

Did u know that the some of the prophets (peace be upon them) in the NT had polygamos marriages? Well thats it for now, take care brother Malik, it is truely unique to find some one so curious about the world that he/she lives in. Salam.
