Ref: Surah An-Nisa 4:3
Arabic:-
وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِى ٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ فَٱنكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ مَثْنَىٰ وَثُلَـٰثَ وَرُبَـٰعَ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فَوَٰحِدَةً أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَلَّا تَعُولُوا۟
Translation:
"And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphans, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two, three, or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hands possess. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice]."
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
Concern for Orphans: The verse was revealed in the context of guardians taking care of orphans, advising them to be just and not exploit them in marriage or wealth.
-
Permission for Polygamy: Islam permits a man to marry up to four wives, provided he treats them with complete fairness and justice.
-
Justice in Marriage: If a man fears injustice between multiple wives, he is commanded to marry only one, promoting fairness and responsibility.
-
Women’s Rights in Islam: This verse protects women’s dignity, ensuring that marriage is based on justice, not oppression or personal desires.
-
Preventing Hardship: The verse concludes by saying that limiting to one wife when justice cannot be ensured is better to prevent oppression and family disputes.
