[quote]>>First of all to say that the life of the prophet encourages monogamy is a big contradiction.

First He is a Rasul. And despite being a Rasul his marriages were for political reasons as under Divine mandate. So whatever we get from His life is through the underlying principles of his many marriages.

>>the Sunnah certainly does not give that example.

is multiple marriage a Sunnah?

>>Secondly, to require man to get permission, that is violation of his right as granted silently by Shariah.

Silence does not mean acquiesence. We know that, right?

>>Man is advised not to let his women, if they are foolish,

Does the Koran use the word foolish??

>>My point is man has leverage over woman in certain matters (and vice versa), and it should stay that way.

My point is decisions should be jointly taken and on an equal basis.

>>I believe it would be better for a judge to decide at an individual level, and let the man prove to the judge that his intentions were noble.

and if tehy were not noble, we can have him flogged for extra marital affairs.

>>It will only encourage men to cheat on their wives.

Do we know that?

Finally, in my opinion extra marital affairs must be severly condemned as opposed to get legalized.

Imagine a woman, who works in a bank. She falls for another man. What option does she have, get divorced and marry the new person. What is your opinion in this case?[/quote]
