May MUSLIM woman have more than one husband?

Sorry, but if you think like that, so can't provide you a logically answer, becouse you don't think logically. Your way of thinking is inherited by your forfathers and very obsolete.

 

Originally posted by Maziar Ok, hope i am in the right forum. I want to disscusse why isn't allowed for women to have more than one husband, while this is allowed for men in Islam?  Someone mentioned once, if there is a child , how whould you know who the father is, to whom whould this child belong? well first of all a paternity test today is no probleme, it will go very fast. second the child belongs to the mother and no one else. Another reason i have heared is, the polygamy in islam was due to the war at beginning of islamic history, most of the men were killed or missed during the war, so there were more women than men. Well today we are not anymore in a situation we need to extend Islam by war. But there are still men who have more than 1 wife. Again another reason is, men should marry poor women to take custody of them. But why are women not permitted to marry poor men to take custody of them? Ok people, i am open to read all argues and opinions from religious or  non religiuos people, muslims or non muslims, atheists, humanists, etc....

Hi,

my post is not related to islam but is pure logic:

men and women are not equals. nothing un-PC here, just mere common
knowledge: ask yourself how many babies a woman can have in a
lifetime? maximum twenty, usually less. and a man? potentially hundreds
of thousands. no wonder that in a traditionnal society where the more
kids you had the better, males tended to have as many potential mate as
they could.
the richer they were they were the more wives and kids they could
sustain. it had a very evolutionary friendly value in the sense the
wealthiest is supposed to be the fittest.
finally as nomadic people, the arabs as the ability to spread equaly their
goods between their heirs. i.e. if you have a land and you cut it in pieces,
there won't be enough food for everybody within one or two generations.
on the countrary sheep, camels and cattle are potentially of un-limited
number.

hence polygamy is a strategy of power at a social and personal level.
polyandry wouldn't make sense. on the countrary, now that the familly or
the individual are the very base of the economy poligamy can be counter-
productive in many ways.
