Had they thought about the matter perceptively and impartially, they would have found that polygamy is the one and only solution for the problems and crises that befall individuals and societies.
Justifications of Polygamy
In the light of the following justifications, we may refer to the purposes beyond Islam's allowing polygamy:
First, it happens that a wife may be affected by a physical or mental defect that impedes her from doing her duties, responding to her husband's desires, or paying attention to the family members. Such crises may create disorder; therefore, it is essential to find acceptable and firm solution. This solution must be that:
(a) Either the husband, suffering the deprivation of his marital rights, is neglected without treatment and left slipping in the depths of vice, and the family members, as well, are left for disorder. This is in fact wrongness against the husband and the family members,
(b) Or the husband leaves the diseased wife, by means of divorcement, suffering the agonies of ailment in addition to the bitterness of rejection and loneliness. This is absolutely denied by sound sense, for it contradicts the principles of humanity,
(c) Or the husband, after obtaining the diseased wife's permission, marries another wife who can respond to his desires, reunite the scattered family, and encompass the diseased wife with kindness.
This is in fact the best and most acceptable solution.
Second, in some circumstances, it happens that a wife is incapable of giving birth. Husbands, in such cases, have to choose one of two-either deprive themselves of sons and stand the burning feelings of being heirless. This is however nobility. Or marry another woman capable of giving birth. The second is in fact more logic since it is decided by nature and instincts. Very rare are those who deny this fact.
