Question 1 Report

While polygamy is permitted in Sūraℎ 4:3, Sūraℎ 4:129
Answer Details
Polygamy is permitted in Surah 4:3 of the Quran, however Surah 4:129 modifies it. The verse in Surah 4:3 allows a man to have up to four wives, but it also mentions the requirement of treating all wives equally, which is difficult to achieve. In Surah 4:129, the Quran highlights the problems inherent in polygamy and the difficulties of treating multiple wives equally. The verse states that it is better to have only one wife, as it is easier to treat her justly and fulfill her rights. Thus, while polygamy is allowed, the Quran puts limits on it and encourages treating all wives equally, which can be challenging to achieve in practice.
