Governmental laws failed, but Islam succeeded!

And if only those with the means to have a DNA test can have multiple husbands, would this not constitute a blatant discrimination policy based on economic wealth?

Not any more than saying that a man can only marry more than one woman only if he can afford it. Do you think a poor man can have more than one wife if he can't afford to feed and clothe them? Yet a rich man can have three or four? Would you call that discrimination?

Seriously, in the majority of the world a kit they sell at drugstores easily solves this problem.

Who says syar'i prohibits a poor man to marry more than one woman?
Quit getting your info from anti-Islam sources.

Wow.
The world is not North America and Europe.
I challenge you to go to any drug store in China or India or Indonesia or Bangladesh or Pakistan (where collectively more than half the world's population live) and ask to buy a DNA testing kit and see how easy it is.

No its more like that if a man ( whether rich or poor) cant treat both wives equally , then he must marry only one .

I also believe that you should have only as many children as you can take care of - welfare because you have too many children is immoral.

Having as many children as you can take care of is correct .

But What is "immoral" about having too many children ?

Question - What has the prohibition of alchol got to do with:

a) Cellular phones

or

b) Polygamy

or

c) Homosexuality

?

Answer - nothing really. Please return to the topic at hand. There are existing threads in which members can discuss subjects a) through c).

I thought the topic was how an Islamic government was superior, and that the ban of alcohol was simply an example.

If the topic is solely about the ban of alcohol, then I want to ask what about non-Muslims in a Muslim country. If their religion does not ban alcohol are they allowed to make, sell and drink it?

Islamic Syari'ah binds only muslims, so it's up to those non-muslims if they want to make, sell and drink alcohol.

A Countries like Saudi Arabia which follows the Shariah law strictlly does not allow alcohol to be brought into the country , let alone sold , They are seized and disposed of at the airport itself . And if someone manages to smuggle it in they face a prison term and then deportation

There are scarce places in Saudi Arabia where one can buy alcohol, if memory serves.

Its being illegal done and they would be trouble in if they get caught . Not like malaysia which has 2 sets of rules and judicials , one for muslims and another for non-muslims and non-muslims can get away

How is that Immoral ? Polygamy is a natural act . I dont see anything immoral if both women are treated equally and are both happy with the husband.

I would say legalisation of Un-natural acts like Homosexuality and flesh trade are immoral .

And speaking about polygamy , Quran is the only book on the face of the earth that tell you marry only one

Surah An-Nisa 4:3
Marry women of your choice in 2s,3s or 4s and if you cant do justice marry one ONE

Genesis 2
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

1 Timothy 3
12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.

Titus 1
6An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient

The Holy Bible is filled with examples of non-monogamous relationships that had very bad and sad results.

Exodus 21:10 >> If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.

A man can thus marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry.
