In this powerful lecture, Dr. Zakir Naik explains the social necessity and wisdom behind Islam’s allowance of polygamy. He addresses the demographic reality that in many societies, women outnumber men due to wars, accidents, and other factors. Without the option of polygamy, millions of women would be left unmarried, leading to social problems such as immorality, exploitation, or broken families. Dr. Naik highlights that Islam provides a dignified alternative that protects women’s rights, ensures justice, and offers a practical solution for society.

00:00And if my sister happens to live in America, where there are 4.8 million females more than
00:07men, or my sister happens to live in one of the countries of European Union, where there
00:12are 10.2 million females more than men, and if every man finds a woman for himself, every
00:23man finds a woman for himself, and I agree with you, one man should marry only one woman,
00:28yet there'll be 4.8 million females in America who will not find husbands. There'll be 1.2
00:37million females in Germany who will not find husbands. There will be 10.2 million females
00:42in Bangladesh who will not find husbands. There'll be 4.2 million females in Bangladesh who will
00:49not find husbands. There'll be 10 million females in Russia who will not find husbands. There'll
00:53be 10.2 million females in
00:55European Union who will not find husband.
00:58I'm asking the question. If your
00:59sister or my sister happens
01:01to be one of
01:03these women,
01:05the only option for them is
01:07if the market is saturated.
01:09If one man has found a woman for himself,
01:13there will be
01:13millions of people in America,
01:15Bangladesh, Russia,
01:17European Union.
01:20Millions of females who won't find
01:21husband. The only option remaining
01:23for them is that they either marry
01:25a man
01:26who has already got a wife
01:29or become
01:31public property.
01:33People say, Dr. Zakir,
01:36public property,
01:38such a harsh word.
01:39I say this is the most
01:41sophisticated word I can use.
01:43There is no third option. You either
01:45marry a man who already has a wife
01:47or become public property.
01:50Any
01:51modest woman
01:52if
01:54there is no choice for her,
01:58she would prefer
01:59marrying a man
02:01who already
02:02has
02:05a wife
02:07rather than become public property.
02:09In USA,
02:11in USA,
02:12having mistresses is common.
02:14on average,
02:16a man,
02:16before he marries a woman,
02:19he has six
02:19sexual partners.
02:22On average,
02:23some may have two,
02:25three,
02:26some may have ten,
02:26twenty.
02:27On average,
02:28an American man
02:29has eight
02:30different sexual partners
02:32before he settles down
02:34and marries one.
02:35The statistic doesn't say
02:37after he marries,
02:37how many more does he have.
02:39That's not mentioned.
02:39So I don't know about it.
02:41But before
02:42an American man
02:43marries a woman,
02:45he has eight
02:45different sexual partners.
02:47So having mistresses
02:50in America is common.
02:51Five,
02:51ten,
02:52twenty,
02:52hundred,
02:52no problem.
02:53But if you have more than one
02:55legal wife,
02:56they have a problem.
02:57When you are a mistress,
02:58a woman is degraded.
03:01A woman is locked down upon.
03:03She does not get a rights.
03:05She doesn't
03:06get peace.
03:08She doesn't
03:09live peacefully.
03:12On the other hand,
03:15in Islam,
03:16if a woman
03:17marries a man
03:17who already
03:18has a wife,
03:19she gets her
03:20due rights.
03:22She is respected.
03:23She gets honor.
03:25She is not disgraced.
03:27She can walk
03:27with the head up.
03:29So,
03:30in America,
03:32having mistresses
03:32is no problem.
03:33Law allows you.
03:34No problem.
03:35Having legally
03:36married wife
03:37more than one,
03:38they have a problem.
03:38So,
03:41if we analyze
03:42the only solution
03:45for a man,
03:49for a woman,
03:51if the market
03:51is saturated,
03:52she either marries
03:53a man
03:54who already has a wife
03:54or gets a public property.
03:56I know,
03:57generally,
03:58no woman
03:59would like
04:00to share a husband.
04:01I know that.
04:03But,
04:04a Muslima
04:05who has knowledge
04:06of Islam,
04:07she would not
04:08mind sharing
04:09a husband
04:10to prevent
04:11a sister
04:11from becoming
04:12public property.
04:14Everyone doesn't
04:14have to do small.
04:15Normally,
04:16the percentage
04:16of increase
04:17is only half percent.
04:19That is,
04:2015 every thousand.
04:22Approximately.
04:23So,
04:24in Islam,
04:25if a woman
04:26who has the true
04:27knowledge of the deen,
04:28she would not
04:29mind sharing
04:29a husband
04:30to prevent
04:31a sister
04:32from becoming
04:32public property.
04:34So,
04:35one of the reasons
04:36is,
04:36that by nature,
04:37women
04:38are normally
04:40more than men.
04:41That is the reason
04:42you find
04:43more widowers,
04:44more widows
04:46in the world
04:46than widowers.
04:49The woman
04:49without husband,
04:51the husband
04:51has died,
04:52is much more
04:53than a man
04:54whose wife
04:55has died.
04:56Because the
04:57life expectancy
04:58of a woman
04:59is much more.
05:07of the woman
05:09.
