In answer to the question about the woman, no she can’t have four husbands because the woman can get pregnant and the father of the child may be questionable (well perhaps not with the existence of DNA testing nowadays)

Thanks for correcting me ...do u know I always thought 7 and when u said 4 I thought a woman was allowed 4 hubbies, so all day I was making a list and crossing off and only came up with one for me and one for him...for me if my man wants another woman then he does not need me around..and no if, and and buts... question here is yes pregancy..who can be the dad.. what about in Africa where the chiefs still can pick another man's wife for the night? Being a man make it alright or a muslim...come in guys let me hear yr views...

Well I suppose it all depends on the circumstances, culture at the time etc. It would take a very strong, extremely secure woman to accept that her husband has chosen to take a second wife unless it was societal norm…the Mormons actually practice this…

You can also look at it this way…sometimes when you want “alone-time” you have a wife to share the responsibility of entertaining your husband: lol:
