Thus let it be realized that Islam didn't start the arrangement of polygamy; it existed from the early day break of mankind's history. At the point when Islam went ahead world scene in the seventh century of the Common Era, it acquired the current marriage framework. Overlooking of polygamy ought not be viewed as a bit of unadulterated male pettiness. In expressions of Karen Armstrong, "polygamy was not intended to improve the sexual coexistence of the young men — it was a bit of social legislation."5
It is to the credit of Islam that it altered and improved the framework in presence at that point.
Right off the bat, of all, Islam put a breaking point to the quantities of spouses that an individual can have at once — limit of four wives one after another.
Also, Islam put stringent conditions on an individual who needed to wed a subsequent spouse. He should have the option to give and keep up the family, and furthermore manage both on premise of equity and decency. In Chapter 4 (Surah a Nisaa), section 3, subsequent to permitting the Muslim men to wed two, three or four spouses, the Qur'ãn quickly says:
"in any case, on the off chance that you dread that you won't do equity (between them), at that point (wed) just one… " (Surah a Nisaa, 4:3)
Taking a gander at the brain research of people, just extraordinary individuals have that nature of equity and reasonableness. The Qur'ãn itself, in a similar Chapter 4, refrain 129, says:
"What's more, you don't be able to do equity between the spouses, despite the fact that you may wish (to do as such)… " (Surah a Nisaa, 4:129)
In light of such sections, certain Muslim governments (like Iran and Egypt) manage the arrangement of polygyny: the individual who expects to wed a subsequent spouse needs to look for endorsement from the family court and demonstrate the requirement for a subsequent wife and the capacity of accommodating both in a sufficient way.
Islam is a down to earth religion; its laws are in accordance with human instinct. It doesn't deny the regular powers in people, rather it faces them and gives direction to control them without disturbing the harmony in the public eye.
Practically all Western governments have illegal polygamy; yet infidelity is generally wild in these very nations. Disregarding all endeavors to advance monogamous connections, many wedded men have courtesans or are associated with extra-conjugal issues bringing about higher separation rates, split families and kids growing up without fathers. Furthermore, such sort of conduct has likewise contacted the most noteworthy workplaces — strict just as mainstream—of the United States of America.
On the off chance that a man needs to dawdle, Islam will consider him answerable and secure him to obligations towards that "second spouse" and her kids. Ira Lurvey, of the Family Law segment of American Bar Association stated, "We are going from monogamy to something many refer to as sequential monogamy and we have no standards and rules; we're grabbing in obscurity for how to direct our lives". 6
Indeed, in Islam, you don't have to grab in obscurity; Islam has given away from on a wide range of connections: monogamy to polygamy.
