[quote]I just asked a simple question. Sorry if it offended you. Since you didn't answer it properly, I am asking it again very politely:

Why would you like to make a law requiring permission of 1st wife when no such law is given in shariah?

When Allah has left something open for us, why do we restrict ourselves with new laws? You realize that a new law will limit the options we have.

I do not believe it is proper to tell others to do something or not to do somehting just because one approves or disapproves of it. Like the example of people who will say that shark are not to be eaten, or lobsters or shrimp are not to be eaten just because they dont like it, they tell others it is not halal even when all creatures of the sea are clearly halal as stated in holy Quran. Similary the mulahs, upon their whims, try to enforce a lot of things on the populace, like banning girls from education and work. Why do we need to steep down as low as these ignorant people? Why do we need to impose restrictions on ourselves by inventing new rules and regulations when Allah has made it easy for us? Remmember the story of people of Musa (a.s.) who kept asking him about the kind of calf to sacrifice and Allah kept giving them new rules as to what kind of calf it should be, and in essence those people were making their own lives more and more difficult.

My point is we do not need new rules in this matter, otherwise we will create difficulties for ourselves.

Btw, smoking is a bad analogy here because we are asked to stay away from things like smoking, that affect your mind via chemicals and narcotics. Nicotine is a strong drug - refer to verse 5.90. It physically affects your body. On the other hand, polygamy causes mental stress, but it does not cause direct physical harm nor is it addictive like smoking in any way.[/quote]
