Why Islam Allows/Permits Seven Marriage To Every Individual ? Any Idea.

Hello my friend Ganesh44 Ji, I am like you , a Indian native and married once only, among Hindus, there is still on estep forward for widowed women not to marry second time, barring present, whereas in Islam,No.3 responder has made it clear and thinks Arebians are gifted more power by Almighty to keep more than one wife, why at all on eshould marry more than once, let any religion be there, Christianity/Hinduism may not religiously permit, but then why so many scandles. In case number of marriages are allowed more,the amount of faith/belief, which bouth spouses would share at common pltform would get distributed and that is where Single marriage at a time is the best. Let's remain loyal to one at one time, by not marring many wives same time. Further, those who marry many wives at a time may think in terms of increasing population. I do not name Islam in particular, have no intention to hurt any one here. Our discussion should be an healthy one. May God bless you and have a great time.

I don't think Islam permits a man seven marriage.As far as I know a man can have four wives at a time.But there is a condition.The man has to see his all wives in equal eye.He has to take permission from his wife or wives to marry another one.When Islam was preached in Arab there a man can marry unlimited numbers.The prophet Hazrat Muhammed to prevent polygamy in Arabian socity he allowed four marriages instead of many.The condition he gave it was indirectjy for one marriage.Because it's impossible for a person to see his all wives in equal eye.

I know for sure that Muslims are allowed to take 4 wives and not 7. Though I've not very clear about the details, I understand that there are certain conditions before they can take more than one wife....like for example, if the first wife is unable to bear child...instead of divorcing her...and if the man is able to provide for both of them equally, he can take a second wife. Like this one, there are many more conditions for taking more than 1 wife...of course, some people don't look at the conditions and take more wives just for their whims and fancies...but we have people like that in all communities and religions.

I'm Catholic and were only allowed to marry one person.

Dear Ganesh Islam Allowed 4 Marriage Not Seven. Before Starting any Religious Discussion Read about this Religions facts Carefully. So Islam Wanna the Human Survive a Life like a Human not a Wild Animals. You are from India Do You Know the Hindus Pickup the Marriage Ceremony for What??? Because Hindus Found the Real Way of Relations on Like the Marriage So in India I Know Peoples have lot of relations but Real Hindus & Indian Don't like Yet May I Right???? So Now We are on fact Islam Allowed the Four Marriages Because Before 1400 Years ago the Peoples & Specially Men More than Powerful (Bodily) for Current & You also Know if the Human are Powerful (Bodily) there Requirements Increase as Well. So the Fact is Arabian are very Powerful Nation & there Pleasure not Complete for Only Single Women So the Islam Says About & This is very nice Order See Around Your Country If Any Guy in Real Indian Subcontinent Marry more than one Someone Blame his??? I Hope no one Blame this guys. But the Guy are on Indian Subcontinent also Start the Wrong Relation with any Women anyone likes him??? But Islam also Say Our believers Strictly "Don't Marry more than one if you are not Powerful (Financially & on Justifying Between Your Wifes)" Now we clear this fact more clearly just tells me Which religions tells the human to marry??? The Old Hindus Says about "women have rights to give birth to any child without marry" but modern Hindus Feels its really disgusting & Hindus Changed our religion laws to Muslims marry are they not??? So Be Care full Actually Your whole subcontinents creates the Old Muslims & Hindus & its very hard for you to criticizing Islam & Muslims if you do so that also Means You criticize you whole subcontinents & religion. in last i ask you a question Why your country peoples don't like the persons who have wrong relation with any women??? why??? have a nice day.

cause to islam women are no more than property no man needs more than one wife it was enough for Adam why not him!

Islam permits a man to take maximum upto four wives and not more, provided he can take proper care of all of them. This was done because in pre-Islamic Arabia, men had many wives (as was everywhere in the medieval ages) and the condition of women were not much good. So Mohammad tried to do something for the women and restricted men to maximum four marriages and no more. As per Hinduism, we all know that even Hindus had many wives and it was OK as per society’s norms. However we Hindus have reinterpreted ourselves and our religion and as per civil low, polygamy is banned in India and this is what majority Hindus follow.

I thought it allowed four times. I am also not sure if both women also are allowed.

Hai Ganesh44! I am writing impartially. Hope none will take it otherwise. As I think you have a question and you posted it. But let us give a look in ancient story. In Greek mythology we will find many woman against a single man. In Ramayana, Dasharatha, the Father Ram had married 4 woman. Besides this he had hundreds of co-wife. In Mahabharata, Arjun and Bhim married several woman. SO the hindu law permits many marriage. Its right that gradually almost the religion and the masters taught us against multi marriage. And in the modern era it is almost disappeared. But Islam as I have learn from here has continued with the same idea. But many Muslims are not marrying many. Being a human being I am against multi marriage.

Only one as I am Catholic. I don't really practice my religion but I honestly do not think I could cope with more than one partner even if I wanted to. Is it only men that are apparently permitted more than one wife? Are you sure it is seven? I was under the impression that it is only three or four.

My religion and your religion allows only 1 marriage. I don't have any idea why would Islamic religion allow 7 marriages.

i happened to have a friend who work in a muslim royal family.i thought so that islam/muslims can marry how many times they want to but my friend told me that it depends.if the first wife allow and if the husband has enough money to raise them, i mean all the family he want..well, i dunno if it really is..

I think only theirselves know about it.If you got to know, please tell me, cause I am also curious about it.

Hello i am hindu, we are allowed to have one wife legally and as per religion too, but there are some who have two or more, for reasons best known to them, i wonder how they manage About your query, each religion has its own guide lines, i honor all religions Happy postings, cheers Professor here

Muti marriages started out as a way to increase the population, men were always in danger, hunting or fighting and so they made it a religion to allow one man to have many women. And the men never complained.

I am from the U.S and you can only be legally married to one person at a time. Which to me makes sense. How can you be married to seven people? The whole point of getting married is to share your life with the one person you love. I don't believe you can truely be in love with more than one person at the same time.
