Why can men marry more than one woman?
Question
I want to know why is it that men in Islam can marry more than one woman and have sex with these multiple women but a woman cannot have multiple relationships?
Answer
This is a divine decision.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
