Yeah, its true that women can only have one husband and men are "allowed" to have four wives, but there are circumstances to that which some males tend to forget or ignore rather (this is not directed to you Thameem π)!
This topic just always makes me very upset at some of the men and their thought process! A Muslim man cannot just have four wives because he wants too....there are certain exceptions (I guess that is the term I can use right now π), to this fact! For example, if a man is away from home for exceptionally long periods of time, such as if he is in the military or something, and is stationed far from his home and family, for many years and/or is unable to come home, then he "can" marry another woman, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that too, with the permission of his first wife!
I'm sure you can catch my drift, as I will not be listing all possible reasons a man can marry again! π
