Art. #21:  CAN A MUSLIM HAVE MORE THAN ONE WIFE?  The religion of Islam was revealed for all societies and all times and so accommodates widely differing social requirements.  Circumstances may warrant the taking of another wife but the right is granted, according to the Qur’an, only on condition that the husband is scrupulously fair.

REBUTTAL:  “Scrupulously fair”, for Muslims following the Koran has a different meaning than in other societies, especially concerning the dynamics of marriage.  Though Allah (Muhammad) said that a man should have only four wives, Muslims admit that he had at least ten, and many scholars suggest about fifteen.  Of course, no accurate count was ever made as to the number of concubines or slaves that he owned.
