[QUOTE]Originally posted by Debbie: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by karinfarid: [b] 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? [/b] Karin - I am not saying adultery or affairs are right, however if the above scenerio were to be studied and evaluated, my personal choice would be A: divorce the first wife and be free for the other. If you do think that I support adultery, please think again. I don't. Do you think that is why I was asking Jane about her marriage? Hmmm? I don't think I ever said adultery was better, or even eluded to it. I definately don't. But regardless of that..... I wanted a lesson, not a lecture. All I wanted to know is what passage in the Koran justifies this marriage. That's all. If there is a passage in the Koran that justifies it, then cool. It really doesn't matter whether I agree with it or not, but I'm just curious. I mean you guys that are Muslim and justifying multiple marriages are doing so because you say it is written in the Koran and came from God. I just want to know where and what it says. I don't have time or the slightest interest in reading the whole Koran to find it myself, (or to find out that it isn't there). I'm just asking for someone to make it easy for me and tell me where it is and what it says. Bottom line is you guys are going to do what ever you want to do, and we are going to do whatever we want to do. We do what we want because we feel it is right, and you do what you want to do because you think it is right. [b] 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. [/b] So, now it is left up to man to make these judgements? Hmmmm. Interesting. [b] 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. [/b][/QUOTE] If God made men weak when it comes to women, to the point he had to give them an out for this weakness, are we to assume he made women stronger than men when it comes to the opposite sex? Or are we to assume women have less drive when it comes to this, or what? I don't get that? Again Karin, this is NOT a personal attack on Jane, so please don't take it as that. It is questions only, and I'm looking for response from you, or anyone that knows the answers. I just happened to take your post and let it lead me to the questions. Also, Welcome to our new member Synthia21. She's great. You may not agree with her, but she is an outspoken woman that seems to know her mind. Gotta like that.
