[QUOTE]Originally posted by karinfarid: [QB] thank you, homesick! I've been looking for this article before. I want to add to the ongoing discussion, that western women imagine this in their own society, and when they try to attribute all the rights Islam gives to Muslim men to the men in their own society, they imagine how much those men would misuse their rights to oppress and degrade women, and marry and divorce just for the fun of it. That is because their men don't fear God in the way believing Muslims do. Muslims know that our life on the earth is a short limited test time span, and the results of our piety, believing, deeds, words, actions, intentions, treatment of others.. will determine in the end if we are to enter paradise or hell for eternity. Life in the Muslim eyes is not fun, money, sex, drugs and rock'n roll. It is about responsibility, respect and love to God and all the creation of God. Nobody can be forced to live in a marriage with more than one woman. Debbie, if a man in Europe after a long marriage falls in love with a younger woman, what will he do? a) divorce his wife to be free for the other one b) betray his wife, adultery. In an Islamic family the first wife has to know what is going on, and she has the choice to remain the first wife with all her rights, she is not being 'dumped' or degraded in her society, or she can ask for a divorce. Which sounds more fair to you? Again, it is the responsibility of the man, to determine the reasons of why he would want to marry again, and if he does, how he will manage to maintain, love and cherish his wives equally (imagine,one present here, the same present there, one smile here, the same smile there...). What people always tend to forget: that we are to justify our intentions and actions in front of Allah on the day of judgment. Who gets wronged in this life by his spouse (or anybody else), will demand and receive all his/her rights on this day. Every soul will earn what it deserves, not more, not less. As far as I know the Quran does not specify the exact conditions of when it is allowed for a man to marry more than one, there is no: 1) only if the first wife can't have kids or 2) or at times of war... these could be reasons but don't have to. Personally I think that mankind is always longing for the things they can not have, just like little children. Men are created weak when it comes to women, and if they'd be allowed to marry only one woman, they'd always be longing for the forbidden, for another woman. Since it is allowed for them within the framework of Islam to marry again, they have the power to refuse this idea with nobility and honor, saying: I could if I wanted to, but alhamdulillah, one is enough for me. Does this make sense? Now for all of you who keep on picking on Askhar, she is in a lawful and recognized marriage, she is happy and so is all her family, what is anybody elses problem? salam, Karin [/QB][/QUOTE]
