why Muslims are allowed to have many wives?

Question

is the women''lower'' than men in society? and why muslims can not show any part of of their body but men can?

Answer 1

Well if allah was a shilla, then men would have to cover up and also have four husbands but as luck would have allah is a bloke and is sexist and properly a paedophile also. so women miss out. o and also allah is suggesting that women have a clitorecttomy and miss out on all the fun

Answer 2

Women are not lower than men in Islam.
Women can't show part of their body because it will be more safity for women.

Muslims are allowed to have many wives but men must supply or even look at them all wives the same.

I ask you if for example 5 women get marriaged with one rich man are secured or one woman be rich and other 4 women were alone and may be poor or without any shelter?

Purity is much important for Moslem women.they can't have sex with any man or live with a man unless they get marriage legally.

by the way I live in a moslem country but mostly i didn't see men have more than 1 wife here.

Answer 3

Coz in idea Islamic societies women are treated as second class citizens and men usually treat em as their private property.
Arabs spread this culture of many wives throughout the areas captured and subject were made to follow what they said.
I am a former Muslim and a current atheist living in an Islamic country so you can trust me on that.

Answer 4

Seeing as you have decided to jump the band wagon as well we'll explain again.
Women are very highly respected in Islam.We choose not to flaunt our body's for all.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) married to help women at a time when society abused women who were divorced,had no family,could not have children.So the marriages were to help benefit the women and give them a respectful life.
If you take time out to look up the reasons for prophets Muhammad's marriages the reason would be clear to you!

Answer 5

diamonds are wrapped with velvet covers, not exposed .everywhere, anybody but only the one who will really take care of it
women are as valuable as diamonds, not the 2nd class but the 1st class cared , caressed in islam society
what is "seen" maybe different then what "must be", and this does not decrease the value of the fact .

Answer 6

it was basically of men ego. I believe that orginaly that marriage is only between one man and one woman. but bcoz men have higher lust so they allowed that law. ( I believe that what God wants is only between one man and one woman).
To come to think of it for the guys out there for man to have more than 2 wives. It was like a throphy for them. But can you ask a woman's feeling. to have the love of her husband shared between 2 woman? There would be a heartache.
As Christian i believe that God Created woman as partner to a man. not to be on top not to be the bottom, but partners.( still man the head of the family).
Why moslem women have to cover up all their body parts > the islam said to guard the men's eyes of evil thought.
what i believe is that woman have ur freedom to dress what you like. But have this in mind. IS this a proper dress, you don't want to be seen as slut (harsh word maybe) do you? Do you want man to see your characters or your flesh.
Do you want man to love you bcoz you are sexy and have a good clevage and bottom?
I believe women wants men to see them as they are, they have good capabilities, good characters
Is also about the men ourself, don't treat women as object of lust, sex. Be a gentleman to women.
I am a man myself. not gay. not promoting woman liberation but just to say treat women as human being not a object of sex
