And as an interesting question: Qatar has 185 males to 100 females; why not allow females to have more than one husband?(No, the answers provided in the FAQ were not logical) |

islam actually limited the number DOWN to 4
besides i think children have the rights to know who their fathers are which would kinda be difficult if ur mom had more than one husband...
