First of all, let’s introduce the incident of “marrying 4 wives”. How did it come about?
Malaysia is a country with multi-ethnic and multi-cultural integration. Malaysians are referred to as Malaysians (Malaysians, Malaysians are referred to as Malaysians) refer to people with Malaysian nationality. They mainly have three major ethnic groups, namely Malays, Hans, Indians, and some other ethnic minorities. All ethnic groups have retained their own culture and customs. At the same time, it also respects the culture and customs of other ethnic groups.
It should be noted here that Malaysians ≠Malay
Malays (Malays), also known as Malays (Melayu), also known as witches, is a ethnic group in the southeast of the Peninsula of Malays , Borneo and Sumatra . The Malays are one of the indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia.
Compared with the nations of the world, the Malays are a very young nation. The Malays believe in Islam, mainly distributed in Southeast Asia, Malaysia, Indonesia , Singapore , Brunei , southern Thailand, etc.
Malaysia's Constitution stipulates that Islam is the state religion and protects freedom of religious belief.
According to the constitutional definition, Malays are Muslims who practice Malay customs (custom law) and culture. In Malaysia, the dual-track judicial system is followed. They are subject to the jurisdiction of the Islamic court on family, marriage and personal issues.
The Malaysian Marriage Law stipulates that, like other civilized countries, requires monogamy, freedom of marriage, equality between men and women, legal age restrictions, prohibited marriage, marriage registration, etc....
However, as a Muslim country, Malaysia follows the religious system, and many of these religious systems have certain conflicts with law .
Muslims believe in Quran . The Quran stipulates: "A man can marry up to four wives", so this system has been used to this day.
The Qur’an is not only the Bible of Muslims, but also the core of faith in the entire Muslim region. Some Muslim countries even use the Qur’an to govern the country. Therefore, if it were not for the sage, no one would dare to change the contents of the Qur’an at will, otherwise the disaster would come.
Therefore, Malaysia follows the dual-track judicial system , and religion and law are moving in line.
In daily life, when resolving conflicts between law and religious often emphasize religion and neglect law.
So, although the law stipulates monogamy, legal age, etc., in Malaysia, Muslim polygamy is still legal .
So, if you want to have 4 wives legally, is the premise that you are a Muslim, or you want to join a Muslim. Why does
have this regulation?
In fact, the polygamy system has been condemned by countries around the world, but these Muslim countries are still unmoved. The main reason for adhering to this system is that has a low status in .
Although to this day, countless feminist movements have been launched around the world. However, in contemporary Muslims, women still exist as male appendages, and the status of men and women is extremely unequal, which is particularly obvious in some countries in Middle East . Not only can women not work, they can even cover their bodies with black veil and only have a pair of eyes exposed.
Compared with
, Muslim women in Malaysia have obviously better social status. They can receive good higher education, work, and pursue themselves.
Moreover, this polygamy system can also prevent love affair.
In the Muslim beliefs, affair is an unforgivable sin. Once a person commits affair is found, he will be stoned to death by the elders. At the same time, the illegitimate child produced by the affair is not blessed, and everyone believes that the illegitimate child will not live long.
In order to maintain the stability and purity of religion, Muslim men are allowed to marry four wives, which can greatly reduce the probability of affair and ensure the purity and stability of religion. At the same time, it can also promote production and ensure population.
Then, after marrying 4 wives, can you "flip the brand" as you wish?
Answer: No, you have to be fair, treat everyone equally, and get the rain and dew equally.
Although the Quran allows polygamy, it also stipulates the premise of polygamy.
The Qur’an says: “You can choose to marry the women you love, each with two, three, and four wives; if you are afraid that you cannot treat them fairly, then you can only marry one wife each, or satisfy your female slave. This is closer and fair.”
Islam allows a man to marry two, three or at most four wives, but the prerequisite is that he must treat them fairly .
When a man wants to marry a second wife, he must obtain the consent of the first wife. When marrying the third and fourth wife, he must sign and agree with the first wife in turn. If one of the wife does not agree, the man will not be able to marry the next wife.
In addition, if a man has more than one wife, he must treat them equally, both emotionally and materially. In short, if you marry four wives, the treatment of four wives will be the same.
Unlike ancient China, everyone lives together. In Malaysia, if a man marrys four wives, he needs to provide separate living housing for all four wives, and the standards must be the same. At the same time, you must also stay at each wife's residence for one night every week.
also needs four cars to buy a car. If it is a BMW, it will have to be one car for each person. If you divorce, your property must be divided into four parts, and it must not be missing.
Therefore, in order to be able to marry four wives, you must not only become a Muslim, but also have money, have a good body, have a high emotional intelligence, and have the ability to settle multiple women.
So, most Malaysian Muslim men still only marry one wife.
