Why is a man allowed to have
more than one wife in Islam?
![Page 4: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“Marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one.”[Al-Qur’an 4:3]
![Page 5: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Does Islam encourage polygamy?
Islam merely allows it, but does not encourage it.
![Page 6: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
He must achieve a perfect balance between his wives
Same accomodation
Same time…
Same financial support
![Page 7: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
But the question remains, even
after these restrictions and
conditions,
why does Islam allow men to
marry more than one woman?
![Page 8: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Islam recognizes that men have a stronger drive to have multiple partners than women
![Page 9: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3.affairs do happen, though they happen secretly
![Page 10: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
, Islam regards polygamy as being preferable to adultery.
Polygamy protects the rights of women by giving them the full rights of a wife. Instead of being a secret "mistress" involved in an affair with a man
![Page 11: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2.men will want to have children
that the wife is not able to have children.
![Page 12: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
4... Another situation to consider is a man whose wife becomes seriously ill
![Page 13: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This helped in solving the problem of providing care and protection to widows and their children in peace
to grant a divorced woman an honourable status in the society.

Why does Islam degrade women by keeping them
behind the veil?
![Page 16: Misconceptions About Islam](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55896244d8b42a881c8b4687/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to
bring down over themselves [part] of their outer
garments. That is more suitable that they will be
known and not be abused. And Allah is ever Forgiving
and Merciful. Al Quran

ROBBERY…Chopping off the hands as punishment
Islam the Barbaric Religion?
RAPE…The punishment thereto is death by execution.
