Still, one might ask why the same latitude has not been given to women as well; but the answer is simple. Notwithstanding the spiritual factor of love which influences the relations between man and woman, the determinant biological reason for the sexual urge is, in both sexes, procreation: and whereas a woman can, at one time, conceive a child from one man only and has to carry it for nine months before she can conceive another, a man can beget a child every time he cohabits with a woman. Thus, while nature would have been merely wasteful if it had produced a polygamous instinct in. woman, man\u2019s polygamous inclination is biologically, justified. It is, of course, obvious that the biological factor is only one \u2011 and by no means always the most important \u2011 of <u>the aspects of marital love<\/u>; none the less, it is a basic factor and, therefore, decisive in the institution of marriage as such. With the wisdom that always takes human nature fully into account, Islamic Law undertakes no more than the safeguarding of the socio\u2011biological function of marriage (which includes also care of the progeny), allowing a man to have more than one wife and not allowing a woman to have more than one husband at one time; while the spiritual problem of marriage, being imponderable and therefore outside the scope of law, is left to the discretion of the partners. In any event \u2011since marriage in Islam is a purely civil contract \u2011 recourse to divorce is always open to either of the two partners<\/em>.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn6\">[6]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

translation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cIf you&nbsp;(m.pl) fear your inability to be just to the orphans, then wed what seem good to you of the women, as second, third, and fourth; but if you (m.pl) fear being inequitable, then one (f.), or what is already in your (m.pl) tenure, that is nearer to ensuring you (m.pl) will not burden yourselves with dependents.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn8\"><strong>[8]<\/strong><\/a> (4:3)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">What some consider an open sanction to polygyny, when taken in context, actually reads as part of Qur\u2019anic instruction on orphan-care:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">It seems a general call to Cognizant Humans, that when there is genuine fear for the orphans wellbeing, the married men among them (who already have one wife each), could bring into their households another woman, and a third, and a fourth.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the call is to everyone, wives are also called upon here to open their homes to these women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">But who are these women?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Some commentators have said that these women could be orphans themselves, and that in fear for an \u2018orphan\u2019 woman\u2019s wellbeing, a married man could take her as another wife.&nbsp;&nbsp;Other commentators disagree, seeing that a \u2018woman\u2019 is a grown-up, while the definition of \u2018orphan\u2019 is a pre-pubescent fatherless child.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>They say also that, since orphans are the issue here, these women can only be their widowed mothers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">This makes a lot of sense, especially since the Arabic word \u2018to wed&nbsp;\u0646\u0643\u062d\u2019 indicates the union but does not necessarily indicate sexual relations (see \u2018ankihu\u2019 above), which means that these new arrivals- women with their orphaned children- could enter this established family atmosphere immediately and become part of its household, gradually \u2018growing into\u2019 the relationship with the entire family, including the husband.&nbsp;&nbsp;But this is just a literal reading of a subject tackled extensively by Muslim scholars, jurists and thinkers, as well as Orientalists, feminists, protagonists, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The discussion will never end, but Polygyny should be recognized for what it truly is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Other peoples and faiths have a history of established Polygyny.&nbsp;&nbsp;When these verses were revealed, polygyny in Arabia (as many other parts of the world) was unlimited, and a man could have as many wives as he could afford.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although the pressing problem which brought on this verse was that of the orphans of the Battle of Uhud, this verse also served to put a limit to polygyny, and indeed many men had to immediately divorce any \u201cplus 4\u201d wives they had.&nbsp;&nbsp;During the Prophet\u2019s lifetime, peace upon him, there were other problems which polygyny helped solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">It would be unreasonable to dismiss Qur\u2019anic instruction which offers any society, having no appropriate establishment set up for its orphans or widows, a way of tackling a pressing problem.&nbsp;Especially during wars, polygyny could be a blessing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Polygyny should therefore be recognized for what it truly is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A PROBLEM-SOLVING, NOT A PROBLEM-CREATING,&nbsp;<em>SOCIAL <\/em>MEASURE INTENDED, UPON ITS CONDITIONAL APPLICATION,&nbsp;TO RETURN BALANCE TO SOCIETY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Marriage was ordained by God to provide \u2018Sakeena\u2019 Peace as the couple \u2018garment\u2019 each other towards attaining \u2018Taqwa\u2019 or Awareness TOGETHER (read <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/iqrathechallenge.blogspot.com\/p\/marriage-union-sanctity-fulfillment.html\"><strong>\u201cThe

understand the reason for its sanctity, we become even more protective of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><br><strong>Some countries, such as Turkey and Tunisia, have abolished Polygyny altogether, while others have drawn restrictions around it.&nbsp; In some countries Polygyny still exists but is declining.<a href=\"#_ftn9\"><strong>[9]<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left

Ali) or \u2018marriage portion\u2019 (M.

Sex, which governs so much of our physical life, and has so much influence on our emotional and higher nature, deserves-not our fear, or our contempt, or our amused indulgence, but our reverence in the highest sense of the term.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Enough said!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our next Reading is from HQ4:11-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Peace unto all!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> Actually, there is a controversial new study which revives a long-standing debate regarding how and where the human species emerged.&nbsp;
