[quote][quote] Somehow I am not comfortable with the notion that one does not need permission from the first wife for second marriage. To me this reeks of violation of the rights of the first wife.  [/quote]

I agree.

[quote] Second if the objective of multiple marriage be upbringing of orphans, can they not be financially supported, is marriage necessary. [/quote]

Marriage is not necessary... Its only that at that time people do marry more than once as a routine and ALLAH only suggested that you already do multiple marriages, so for the upbringing of orphans you can marry their mothers. That is absolutely not necessary but it was an advise according to the custom and traditions of that time.

[quote] Third, even if it be argued that there are other issues i.e., a widow woman's desires as apart from raising orphans, should this not be treated as a test of patience, after all if scholars counsel the unmarried and the homosexuals to stay chaste, then one could make a similar argument for widows. [/quote]

Even that argument does not means that multiple marriage is something required or appreciated. One can always stay chaste whatever the condition may be. There are many women now a days whom husband are working abroad, after all they also stay chaste...[/quote]
