2 questions:
1. I see many postings by muslims saying that it is ok for a man to marry a non muslim, but not for a woman to do so. Why is that? From what I gather, even Mohamed had Jewish wives.
I dont intend for this to sound like I am bashing Muslims, but I just dont understand it. Are women not equal in marriage? Why can a man chose who he wants, but women cant? What is the reasoning for this? Also, to the women & men: do you think it is fair? Why?
2. I know it is not practiced by all Muslims, but for those that do: why can men have several wives? I understand that it is a cultural thing that the US does not practice & I am fine with that. My question is similar to question #1, why cant women do it also? Part 2 to ques. (as a joke): why would you want more than 1? I have enough problems with the 1 I have! LOL
Please dont take these questions as attacks on Muslims! This is not like the questions the athiests ask here, just to anger. this is real.
