Under Islamic law a Muslim man can have up to 4 wives, but he has to provide seperate households for each one?

Answer 1

Correct, although technically they could all be in the same house so long as they have their own privacy, like own bedroom, living space and own kitchen. This is her right.

She also has the right to give up that right (to privacy) and I've known of a few who have done that (most don't). And then there could always be extenuating circumstances like war and being thrown into a refugee camp etc.

Answer 2

Yes, a Muslim man has to spend equally in the way of each of his wives and divide his time also equally among the wives. Each of the wives have a right to their own privacy so that they can run they household freely.
If he feels he will be unable to treat his wives equally he cannot marry more than once.

Answer 3

Not necessarily,
It depends upon the agreement between wife and husband (or understanding among wives) if one wants to live separate, she can demand otherwise all four wives can live together but offcourse with secure privacy.
Security and privacy must need to be taken care of.
Most importantly, a man should not marry more than one if he is unable to make justice among his wives, this is a fixed rule.

Answer 4

Under Islamic law a muslim can have 4 wives but only if he treats all of them fairly and is justifiable to all of them...and it is'nt neccesary for him to provide different hosehold for each one...as long as hes fair...

Answer 5

Muslims could have as a lot as 4 better halves. In Islam, you could marry a woman for a era of time, too. you could signal a settlement and marry a woman for a week in case you want. They DO trust that once they die as a martyr, they'll accept seventy 2 virgins. some say this is a faith of peace. you could not teach that to me. through how... "Koran sura 56 verses 12 -40 ; sura fifty 5 verses fifty 4-56 ; sura 76 verses 12-22. I shall quote the distinguished Penguin translation through NJ Dawood of sura 56 verses 12- 39: "They shall recline on jewelled couches head to head, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine (which will neither soreness their heads nor get rid of their reason); with end results of their own selection and flesh of fowls that they rejoice with. And theirs may be the darkish-eyed houris, chaste as hidden pearls: a guerdon for his or her deeds... We created the houris and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand..."

Answer 6

I don't think Muslim men in America can have 4 wives....didn't the Momrmons try that and finally had to give it up when Utah wanted to be a state of the US? :D

Answer 7

He must have the resources to adequatly support each family as well as a man with one wife could support his family.
Thie rule came about because many Muslim women had no choices for husbands after a war so Muhammad decided it was wrong for them to remain alone.

Answer 8

yes each wife should have her own house unless they agree on something else, However, he is not allowed to marry 2nd one unless the 1st one knows and agrees and if there is really a good reason for this marriage, like if he cant go along with the 1st wife but they dont wonna devorce, or if he wants kids but the wife doesnt or if 2nd wife is a relative with kids and her husband died and needs someone to help her with that or any other reason.

some pepole understand it wrong though and go get married behind their wife's back or for no good reason at all.

Answer 9

This depends on if he can afford to have more than one wife. Yes he has to provide separate households for each one, equally.
