As far as I know, that is not permissible. (I stand to be corrected) Thus as far as I know, this is not justice!

Glad you don't. Because people can say anything. Like them saying there is no god.

No. But this matter is not necessarily about women in islam. It happens. But for the women in islam, Allah will have His plans for those who have abused his blessings.

This gets a bit more interesting... If a woman had four husbands, how could anyone really tell who the father was? But that is not my real point. Allah set has all the answers, and we can only guess the real reasons behind them.
In my honest opinion, it boils down to the 'philosophy' of islam (aside from the betterment of self) but with regards to betterment of society, islam preaches also about the development of the ummah (the community). Essentially it is about protecting the weak. If a family loses its head (the father), often they will be marginalized and left in destitute. If the children became orphans, chances are they will not be taken care off. Thus in allowing males to marry more, they have the responsibility to care for the orphans. Better still if they were to marry widows to care for the children. That way, a society will be strong and nobody is left out.
But unfortunately, this law has been abused and here in Malaysia, there are some who after years of work strike it rich and decide to marry younger women. Not the purpose of the law.
On another note, I came across a video that spoke of the modern era where we have these radio waves for all the gadgets we own and it will affect the male population in the long run. A telco company in Malaysia found that its employees working in the field has only female children and no males. If this is a sign of things to come, then with so many people who cannot be without these telecommunication devices, chances are that male population will soon decline and we will be living in a world that is largely women. If this is to be true, then in the future, women will be stealing husbands. If this law were to be taken heed, then the chances are that women can still have husbands, albeit, a shared one.
Peace
