I read in Quran . we can married 4 girl if we can afford them
but we know our Prophet Muhammad have 12 wife in his life .
Anyone Can explain it ........
Thank you all.
I think it is because Nabi Muhammad SAW was able to treat them all fairly. In the verse, the Qu'ran recommends you to marry one if you can't treat them justly. And you have to treat them all equally, if you go holiday with one, you have to go holiday with the other etc. So Nabi SAW was a special exception since his character was so great.
He was an example. He was the leader, through marriage he unified tribes into a bigger nation. He freed slaves by marrying some of them.
In the end, quite a few were thankful for their 'cared' situation as being the wife of the Nabi, they actually gave up their rights to have their nights with him for him to spend time with Aisya.
I think that Prophet showed to us example as many of his wives were widows. Nowadays many men prefer marry young women but not older ones, divorced or widowed. In some societies marrying widows could to be more recommendable as kind of social security for women.

We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.
Alhamdullilah I will only marry one. With 2 kids with her. I wish 1 boy and a girl. Their name will be Said McKnight Masorong and Faith Red Masorong. Indeed. Inshaallah. I am not sure If I can take more than 1 wife. I grew up in a society which 1 wife is already enough.

He was already married to all those women by the time the ayat that limited the number to four was revealed. It would have been an undue show of favouritism to divorce some and keep others.
