Y: If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans,
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, or (a
captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to
prevent you from doing injustice.

P: And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of
the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear
that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the
captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye
will not do injustice.

S: And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then
marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if
you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only
one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may
not deviate from the right course.

This is from a translation of the Koran itself.

The Koran, like the Bible, and any other Holy writ, is contaminated with the self-serving changes of many people.

To say otherwise, to say a book is the perfect word of the Creator, is idolatry and an insult to all that is Holy. Teaching that the man-made changes are actually the word of the Creator is a sin worse than any other, and will be punished.

for understanding quran u dun just read its translation.coz every sura is related to some incident.its always better to ask some maulava who has a good knowledge of the book.
as far as i know this surah maens that a man is allowed to marry the girl of his choice and he can keep 4 wives at the same time but only if he can all of them equally (giev all of them equal love and financially support, time...) and if a man cant treat all the wives equally then he can only marry 1 girl.this surah was sent coz at that time the number of women were more than men.so if a man marry's only 1 woman then many women will b left spinster and they will get involved in different sins like adultery (sex), theft etc to support themselves financially and to fulfill their physicala nd sexual needs.so this permision was given to save the society and the irls from being involved in different sins that will lead the socity towards a disasterous end.so muslim men are not allowed to marry 4 girls just for their own enjoyment and if they do so for their own physical pleasures or any other need then they r not real muslims.these r the people who have given this pure and true religion a bad name.and if u look around u u'll see that many countries even now r facing this problem of having more females than male.and wat do u think that girls do if they r not married?dun u think they get involved wid men already married.quran has given us a true and moral way of living now its upto us how we translate ita nd understand it and live r life.we all will be answerable for r own deeds on the day of judgements.hope my answer helped u
its true that its the only holy book that still hasnt being changed (its translation) and if u r a christian u wud know that god has talked about the prophet mohammad (P.B.U.H) and his holy book in bible too.tc.have fun

Sorry, I don’t follow nor I believe in “Holy Books” written by humans that claim that their “God” put the words there thought them.

Koran, Bible, and whatever else you want to name. To me is all a big lie.

If people would follow more what we know as common sense, and do good and don’t do anything you wouldn’t want to be done to you (what we call bad things), there would be no need for religion, laws, or police, and the Twin Towers in New York together with over 2000 people would still be here. Lets not even count in reality how many people has die for stupid religion.

And we call ourselves “civilized”? I’m amazed we are still here and not the roaches as the supreme beings of the planet.

To me, Koran doesn't exist.

It is a lie. God never would make such a thing..allow a man to marry more then a woman , two or three. This means to destroy even the idea of couple of love etc..

When it happened in the Old Testament that some had more then a woman it was because of the people from around who obeyed to idols and didn't listen to the real God.

I was young at 22 but I never was tempted to mary a man of Islam although he looked quite interesting and aluring (because of the temptation of the devil I suppose)I didn't at least talk to HIM. God forbids marrying people from other gods..(because those gods don't exist and the people thought is wrong ).We must wait them to see the real face of God...

I don't agree with sharing my husband with other wives. There's alot about that religion that I don't agree on but that's my opinion.
