women's purity Having more than one wife is a Biblical tradition that predates Islam by two thousand years. Prophet Abraham, for example, had two wives, and polygyny was common in many pre-Islamic cultures. Islam limited the number of wives to four, required the husband to support and protect all of his wives, and to treat them all equally. In the Islamic view, it is better for a woman to share a husband, be supported and protected, and have children within wedlock who will have their fathers' names and support, than for women who wish to marry to to have to engage in a series of short-term sexual affairs in the hopes that one day they will find good men who will be willing to marry them, and better for children if their parents are married.
