Answer 1

What an Arab can or can't do is dependent on the laws of his country, his professed religion and his morals, values and ethics.

'Arab' and 'Muslim' do not have the same meaning. There are Christian, Jewish and Druze Arabs, and in addition there are over a billion non-Arab Muslims.

The Qur'an states that a Muslim man can have up to (I believe) four wives provided he is able to love and take care of them. Your friend is oversimplifying the situation, but Muslim men can have multiple wives. And Muslim women cannot have multiple husbands.

In the Muslim country where I live, Turkey, polygamy is forbidden by law.

Answer 2

Thanks For Your Question :)

Well in Islam it is permitted for a Man to have more 1 wife ...4 actually
But here are some fact before we judge this as a bad thing
1. It is not necessary to be done and it is rarely done
2. It is needed in some cases
3. It is not prohibited in the Bible
4. It was practiced by early Christians and Jews

and According to the Encyclopedia Britannica Women outnumber men so as a result of that Large segment of women is unable to fulfill their sexual and
psychological needs through legitimate means in a
monogamous society which may leed to Homosexuality
Like it or not, it is better of hypocrisy,pretending to be monogamous while having mistresses Conservative researchers found that 60%-75% of men in the west are having
at least one mistress at the same time after marriage

Answer 3

Everyone who has been paying attention knows that Muslim men (not necessarily Arabs, as you referred to them) have far more rights than the Muslim woman. It's a fact and cannot be disputed by anyone who is rational and can read. It's the same reason that a woman has no rights in a divorce.

Answer 4

According to my ex-husband, a muslim, the real purpose behind this is that many men/husbands die in war. Women do not have the means to support themselves. Therefore, men would have multiple wives (commonly a mans brother or other relative) in order to care for the widowed women.

Answer 5

before each and everything, Tarkan isn't center jap.. and ive considered this video before. He dances like a lady. it is scary to computer screen. and also you're comparing one end of the spectrum with yet another. You took the most liberal of Islamic states and are comparing it to the most conservative ones...Like comparing the existence of Houston, Texas with Dearborn, Michigan and slapping the call 'u.s.' on it. if you're speaking about the liberal international places, they freely enable females to be clad (and also you should google the fashions and singers and actresses your self). The conservative international places on the different hand do no longer enable adult males or females to precise sexuality publicly. as an celebration, in Iran, entertainers (male or female) ought to flow by potential of the authorities clerics before liberating albums and Saudi Arabian singers do not stay of their usa.

Answer 6

This is not as easy as that person told you. There are restrictions and conditions which most of the men ignore to exliot their own desires.
