General Discussions / what does the multiplicity in number of wives means?
« on: August 03, 2014, 09:26:21 AM »
Salam!
IN surah nisa 4.3
The twos ,threes and fours indicate multiplicity ....
Does this multiplicity shows lower multiples i-e less number of women ( twos ,threes and fours may indicate a level of multiples)? If it does then what is the possible range?
or
Does this means as many as one want ?
If it is the latter case then there no check and a limitless number. ( which seems like is not possible practically)
or
Does this mean that multiple wives as required?
As this puts a limit but there is no such description , as one can have multiple wives as they need? and also how will then the word "need "be explained then ?
