In the film, they sidelined this issue and did not touch on it at all. There was no way Ashutosh Gowarikar could have said that Jodha was Jalal's first wife; all the Indian historians would have jumped down his throat. But if he had mentioned that clearly , it would have had some negative impact on his central love story. So he cleverly dodged the whole issue and left it to the audience to imagine whatever they wanted to!😉

Not just the Moghuls, but all Muslims are allowed 4 wives at a time. This is so even today in India under the Muslim personal law, though bigamy is illegal for all other religious groups. But till the anti-bigamy law was passed in 1958, Hindus and the other religious groups too were allowed more than one wife. The Maharajas all had more that a few, and even in our epics, King Dasharata in the Ramayana had 3 wives.

But it was never common among ordinary folk; wives are expensive to maintain😉😉,and then again, as the ration of women to men in any population is roughly 50:50, where would so many extra women come from!😉

Well, Disha, I suppose it is because it is the only Jodha-Akbar story on screen that people are familiar with. But the factual position on the film too is as I have noted above.

Wow! I exactly thought that too! 😉

Very normal to have multiple wives in that era for a Muslim ruler or I think for any ruler for that matter. Many were just political alliances. Ruqaiya was Akbar's first cousin and they got married when they were children. Not much of a choice he or she had, right? 😆

The history states he had a 2nd wife too. Salima Sultan (Bairam Khan's widow) was wedded to him as a favour. Let's see if Ekta will include Salima in the show or not. If she does then it would be like adding too many contenders for Akbar's heart 🤢

Ek ko hi rakho yaar! History toh sab padh lenge baad mein😉
