Polygamy and Islam
The Solution to a Problem rather than a Commandment
~ 14 ~
The other possible ‘solution’ to be found in the
‘civilized’ society of the West is the conversion of
unwillingness to become a second wife into
willingness to become a mistress, often of more than
one man.
During the Second World War, in which several
western countries such as Germany, France, Britain,
etc. took part, a large number of men were killed.
As a result, women far outnumbered men at the
end of the hostilities. Permissiveness then became
the order of the day, to the extent that boards with
such inscriptions as “Wanted: A Guest for the
Evening” could be seen outside the homes of
husbandless women. This state of affairs persisted
in western countries in various forms, even long
after the war, and is now largely prevalent because
of industrial and mechanical accidents.
