The funniest problem with our society are the half-dudes who have only one connection with Islam - they ''use'' islam as a reference in any argument. What's even funnier is that their knowledge is as suprficial as their intellect. They would go about ranting over women's legs in other threads, and half of them I bet don't even know the panchwan kalma, but whenever there's something they can't prove logically, they'd bring in the religion.
I will not go into the argument of four marriages being allowed at that time because of the quick and huge shift of gender balance due to male casualties after every war, nor would I mention that times have changed and men aren't the sole breadbringers of the society(unlike the older times when men hunted and women reproduced). Infact, I will not go into religion at all, because the question isn't religious. Its logical.
Self anatomy is tough, right? That is prolly why we are told to treat others in a way we would want them to treat us.
