I would like to open my case by saying that there is no such thing as a universally codified system of marriage . This perhaps is because maxria~ge, in one form or another, has been in existence well before the law, ox one might even say, well before religions . - In these days many people tend to look at marriage as an Yristitution brought about by laws or by reli" gions . In effect, marriage is n~ more than asocial institution, contract between a man and a woman, witnessed by the members of the Community ' in which they live, -that they intend to live together and produce children whom the community should recognise and accept . Thus syatems of marriage can, and in, fact da, vary from one society to another . In some small communities the practice is due to economic rea» sons . If the wife helps the hus" band on hi . farm, then it is obviaus that ';'v .e more wives he has the richer he is . More wives also mean more power. for the man . As soon as the word polygamy is mentioned, people think of the Moslems . In~ fact, once you say to them tbat youz xe3:igio~ is Islam, you can gura what the next questtan will be : "How many wives do you have?"

Indeed, Moslems are perm .tbed to marry more than one wife, ., .,but the maximum number is restricted to four ; and the~'e is a strong string attached . According to Islam a person may marry one, two, three ar up to four wives provided he can do equal justice to all of them, Like everything else in Islam, there is a reason for polygamy, In the days of "jihad" or .reidgi~i~s~ wars ,many husbands got killed on the battle grounds and consequently wives, some children were left without somean~ to care far them, Thus the Society became unbalanced, just as it was in the case of many European countries immediately af" ter the war, The only alternative fox these widows who, of course, had no private home, was to marry men already wed . Thus, and with justification, Islam allows polyga-~ my in order to maintain a goad balance in the society . I remember a lady once putting her case against polygamy thus : "When God created Adam He gave him only one wife - Eve," The answer I gave her was that if Adam had asked for more, God might have given him more, but the fact that he did not ask, does no~C mean that polygamy is
