No one is getting hurt actually at least not physically.
This is only a taboo and I am sure it comes from the writers imagination.

HaneefahRN:
And u think those requirements are very light? Polygamy is only permitted in Islam not encouraged becos a man even if he thinks he has all the means is taking a high risk as regards displeasing his Lord.
Of course, there is an emphasis on widows and orphans, this goes wt the historical backing of the verses, when they were revealed. Let's go to the verses:
4:3- If ye fear tht ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of ur choice, two, or three or four; BUT IF YE FEAR THAT YE SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO DEAL JUSTLY (with them), THEN ONLY ONE, or that which ur right hand possess. THAT WILL BE MORE SUITABLE TO PREVENT YOU FROM DOING INJUSTICE.
Q4:129- Ye are never able to do justice between wives, even if it is ur ardent desire-
What is this saying? It isn't a contradiction but a hidden template for those who reflect.
Some hypocritical men wld claim they are trying to do the sunnah by marrying more than one wife, forgetting the Prophet mainly married widows and divorcees and had only one virgin wife. They can follow the sunnah in tht way but won't follow the sunny as regards dealing wt their wives. Even the Prophet was scared of doing injustice among his wives.
Some men av abused this polygamy issue to the extent of marrying and divorcing women as they wish, as long as they dnt go beyond 4 at a time. Polygamy wasn't allowed to satisfy men's sexual whims or inflate a ego but out of compassion for women, at a time it was really needed.
Give an answer to this, wld u want to share ur wife with any man? Can u even imagine how u wld feel having to share ur loved one wt someone else?

Krystalzkris:
when a girl asks a guy to prove his love by marrying only her,which entails going to jail.... Thats what i meant

Krystalzkris:
hmmm.. This is where the statement 'if love is a crime,am willing to go to jail' comes to play..

Straight to the point.

1. ACCEPT vs. EXCEPT
These two words sound similar but have very different meanings. Accept means to receive something willingly: “His mom accepted his explanation” or “She accepted the gift graciously.” Except signifies exclusion: “I can attend every meeting except the one next week.” To help you remember, note that both except
and exclusion begin with ex .


2. AFFECT VS EFFECT

To make these words even more confusing than they already are, both can be used as either a noun or a verb. Let’s start with the verbs. Affect means to influence something or someone; effect
means to accomplish something. “Your job was
affected by the organizational restructuring” but “These changes will be effected on Monday.” As a noun, an effect is the result of something: “The sunny weather had a huge e ffect on sales.” It’s almost always the right choice because the noun
affect refers to an emotional state and is rarely used outside of psychological circles: “The patient’s affect was flat.”


3. LIE vs. LAY

We’re all pretty clear on the lie that means an untruth. It’s the other usage that trips us up. Lie
also means to recline: “Why don’t you lie down and rest?” Lay requires an object: “ Lay the book on the table.” Lie is something you can do by yourself, but you need an object to lay . It’s more confusing in the past tense. The past tense of lie is—you guessed it— lay : “I lay down for an hour last night.” And the past tense of lay is laid: “I laid the book on the table.”


4. BRING vs. TAKE

Bring and take both describe transporting something or someone from one place to another, but the correct usage depends on the speaker’s point of view. Somebody brings
something to you, but you take it to somewhere else: “ Bring me the mail, then take your shoes to your room.” Just remember, if the movement is toward you, use bring; if the movement is away from you, use take.


5. IRONIC vs. COINCIDENTAL


A lot of people get this wrong. If you break your leg the day before a ski trip, that’s not ironic —it’s coincidental (and bad luck). Ironic has several meanings, all of which include some type of reversal of what was expected. Verbal irony is when a person says one thing but clearly means another. Situational irony is when a result is the opposite of what was expected. O. Henry was a master of situational irony. In his famous short story The Gift of the Magi , Jim sells his watch to buy combs for his wife’s hair, and she sells her hair to buy a chain for Jim’s watch. Each character sold something precious to buy a gift for the other, but those gifts were intended for what the other person sold. That is true irony. If you break your leg the day before a ski trip, that’s coincidental. If you drive up to the mountains to ski, and there was more snow back at your house, that’s ironic.


6. IMPLY vs. INFER


To imply means to suggest something without saying it outright. To infer means to draw a conclusion from what someone else implies. As a general rule, the speaker/writer implies, and the listener/reader infers.


7. NAUSEOUS vs. NAUSEATED


Nauseous has been misused so often that the incorrect usage is accepted in some circles. Still, it’s important to note the difference. Nauseous means causing nausea; nauseated means experiencing nausea. So, if your circle includes ultra-particular grammar sticklers, never say “I’m
nauseous ” unless you want them to be snickering behind your back.


8. COMPRISE vs. COMPOSE


These are two of the most commonly misused words in the English language. Comprise means to include; compose means to make up. It all comes down to parts versus the whole. When you use
comprise , you put the whole first: “A soccer game comprises (includes) two halves.” When you use compose, you put the pieces first: “Fifty states compose (make up) the United States of America.”


9.FARTHER vs. FURTHER


Farther refers to physical distance, while further describes the degree or extent of an action or situation. “I can’t run any farther ,” but “I have nothing further to say.” If you can substitute “more” or “additional,” use further.


10.FEWER vs. LESS


Use fewer when you’re referring to separate items that can be counted; use less when referring to a whole: “You have fewer dollars, but
less money.”
Bringing it all together


English grammar can be tricky, and, a lot of times, the words that sound right are actually wrong. With words such as those listed above , you just have to memorize the rules so that when you are about to use them, you’ll catch yourself in the act and know for certain that you’ve written or said the right one.

Morning Mindfulness, although this is somewhat true, that is not the reason for marriage. I don't know if you can see it, but so many inconsistencies in how you discuss matrimony. To me, that's because of what I consider to be a "faulty basis".

But not to be too hasty, please give us an insight into what you feel that marriage is and the reason for it.

Thanks
