[quote][quote]Secondly, whatever the need be, the number of wives cannot exceed four in any circumstances.[/quote]

[quote]For example, in our society, many young widows and divorced women with small children have to live a life of misery and no one is willing to accept them as wives. Such widows and children can lead normal lives if this permission is benefitted from.[/quote]

[quote]Thirdly, howsoever important the need be, if a person cannot maintain balance and do justice to his wives, he must restrict himself to one.[/quote]

[quote]However, as clarified by the Quran*, justice and balance do not entail that he should have equal inclination towards all his wives, for this is not humanly possible. What is required is that he should treat them equally as far as their rights are concerned.[/quote] 
[b][red]Ibrahim, I disagree with you &amp; the article you posted.[/red][/b]

If the purpose of more than one marriages is just to serve the widows and orphans, then it should be compulsory for every rich man to marry at least one widow and why a limit of 4, why not more than 4 to benefit maximum number of the women?  
&amp;
 If the purpose is just to serve widows and orphans,&quot; why the balance is emphasized&quot;, rather it should be sufficient for a widow if she gets a shelter and her daily needs are met more than before this marriage.

[red][b]&quot;Balance otherwise only one&quot;[/b] clearly puts condition on the man who seems to be the primary needy not the widows or orphans. 
Or 
If the widows or orphans are the primary needy why they need equal rights.[/red]
[b]Is there any point to ponder?[/b][/quote]
