\\\\\\\\\ Sharing someone elses article: 1 ////////// Polygyny only for charitable reasons!! Many people who try to prohibit the lawful use many different excuses to try to justify their prohibition. For example, they invent a condition that polygyny has to be conducted only for charitable reasons, which means there should be no desire or interest!!! They do not apply this same criteria to the first marriage, but only to the second marriage, and I still don’t know why they apply this invented criteria selectively and we will only hear about this when polygyny is discussed? On the other hand the monogamists boast about how they should be looking for the most beautiful woman who most perfectly matches all their materialistic criterias, and they dont get scolded for that! In reality there is no such conditions or criteria that the second marriage must be ‘only for charitable reasons’.. Does your first marriage have to be only for charitable reasons? No, so what is the difference between your first marriage or your fourth? Obviously in every marriage you need to consider the faith and the interest, otherwise if there is no interest and no desire at all then why are you calling it a marriage? God said : marry women as you deem desirable for you, 2 , 3 or 4….etc (Quran, 4:3) God allows the desire to be fulfilled legally through marriage and is against celibacy. Celibacy would result in similar chaos as that which is witnessed in the catholic church today, which is full of child molestation scandals. So if the man simply desires to marry, then it is within his right just like in his first marriage. Why is no one asked to justify their reasons for their first marriage but only their second or third or fourth marriages, they have to justify and prove that it has nothing to do with desire and still get accused after that? They are coming up with conditions which do not exist in the religion and are illogical and these are all different shifty ways to indirectly prohibit the lawful. There is nothing wrong with desire as long as it is within the lawful boundaries. There is no condition in Islam, that marriages all have to be charitable, but they could simply be because he desired to do so and that’s a good enough reason to marry and if there are charitable elements then that is a bonus. Taking care of the woman and her kids and shielding her and himself from corruption is in itself enough charity isnt it? If they marry with out having any desire for one another, then they will not even be able to fulfill this minimal requirement of shielding one another from corruption. The question needs to be asked, truthfully which woman would be satisfied in a marriage with a husband who has no desire for her. Does she not also have the right to experience marital happiness, and does he not also? I mean I never hear people question men when they are marrying the first time, so why would they always question them in the second time ??? It is as if people are telling Allah oh God we know it better than you, the man only needs one wife and you made a mistake allowing him up to four, and hence anything more than 1 wife is excess which can only be justified under exceptional charitable conditions
