Muslim men: How many of you have (or want to have) more than one wife?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApMcB...

This person apparently believes that since it is okay to have more than one wife in Islam, that we are somehow evil (when marriage is the ultimate sign of love).

    Not me.. I do not and would never have another wife,

    How ever those who misinterpret Islamic view of having more than one wife do so in a wrong full way, and hence the result that non-Muslims do think differently.

    In Islam more than one wife is allowed under certain circumstances...and these instances are exploited by most of those who have multiple wives. I can not innumerate in detail all of these, but to name a few like....in war or post war periods when there are widows, unsupported females, female orphans or if there are females without any support, or those who have lost their husbands, fathers, or mothers with small children and no husbands, or if the first wife is not able to have or produce children ..Under such circumstances one can have multiple wives.

    i advocate. for those. who have this wrong conception about multiple wives to do a little research and then comment.

    i'll answer to what i wish in my future unknown husband :D

    NO, i won't marry a man who wishes to have another wife,

    so me won't be the the second wife nor let him marry while i'm still his wife.

    and of course i'll let him know about this before marriage.

    peace Brother.

    Of course they don't want more than one wife, but they want mistresses and visit prostitutes.

    And one day he'll come back home and from all that "love" the wife will get free STD.
