you have 100 crore property and no child from first wife what will you do?obviously you would go for second marriage but only after the approval of first wife you are young and your wife is only 19 ,she dies accidently what will you do ,you have to marry for second time since you can fall prey to illegal relationships And when they were many wars which used to take place before in which men used to get killed and women widows ,so islam permitted to take widow as your 2nd wife with your 1st wifes consent since a widow can get into wrong hands
Before islam came people used to get married innumerable times,there was no restrictions it was knowns as polygamy(means many)so after islam came it was restricted to four .so my dear friends it was from many wifes to it was resticted to 4and not fom 1 to 4

basically muslims are following laws devised in seventh centuary and they either dont have courage to change the outdated laws or are foolish enough to stick to them. The problem is that they cannot afford to change the Islamic laws as otherwise they will loose their identity and so are scratching their heads to invent explanation to justify their insane laws - Raman

That means Islam is not the first religion in the earth. It clearly indicates some joker has written some book and some mad people started following it. This is the religion which has no respect for woman. The creator of everything, even ur so called joker.
