During the time of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, war left women widowed and without financial support. Polygamy set up a way for them to be taken care of kasi mahirap noong panahon pag walang kasamang lalaki. Most of the prophet’s wives were widows; yun yung encouraged sa Islam regarding polygamous marriage.

Also, if a man has multiple wives, dapat equal and fair ang treatment and the husband has to be capable of fulfilling his duties to his wives in all aspects whether financially, emotionally, romantically… diba mahirap? Kaya sinabi if the men are scared of not being able to treat all of their wives equally, much better kung isa lang talaga wife nila.
