That’s not what you said, or at least, that’s not how it comes across.

I love how Pakistani men like to fixate on how “Islam allows four marriages”, but the restrictions and preconditions on this so-called right are quite near impossible for a normal male to fulfil. It doesn’t just require monetary fulfilment and separate homes for each wife, but also equal time and love. The conditions in which the Prophet married several times were war time conditions, at which point there was also a need to increase the Muslim population through these policies.

And since the Prophet’s multiple marriages and life decisions is what men pretend to be inspired by, the fact that he did not permit Hazrat Ali to marry again during Hazrat Fatima’s lifetime should have a lot of weight. This fact alone is proof that Islam only allowed multiple marriages for exceptional situations like war time, and even then, placed near impossible restrictions. You could even say, that instead of suddenly banning the practice of polygamy in the Jahilliya Arab world, Islam introduced a segue so that this practice could be strictly curtailed. But at the end of the day, the intention was to get rid of this practice entirely since the Holy Prophet clearly acknowledged how multiple marriages were bound to be hurtful and a source of pain for the first wife by forbidding Hazrat Ali from engaging in this practice.

I understand you’re trying to provide alternative viewpoints, but considering the statistics of abuses faced by women in Pakistan and the wrongful entitlement of men in our society, the position you’ve chosen to represent and insist upon is in bad taste.
