இஸ்லாத்தின் பார்வையில் பலதாரமணம்

Abstract

Polygamy means "when a man legally has more than one wife at the same time." The claim that Islam introduced polygamy is inaccurate in world history. Instead, Islam regulated and controlled the practice of polygamy, which existed before. For example, Kailan ibn Salama had ten wives before Islam. Upon embracing Islam, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked all but four of them to divorce. In Islamic jurisprudence, a second marriage is not obligatory but permissible. Fair treatment between wives is a primary requirement for polygamy. Islamic scholars also emphasize the importance of being able to meet the emotional and physical needs of each wife and having the economic resources to support them as significant qualifications for polygamy.
