Muslim women call out men who fight for their right to marry multiple wives but do not follow the conditions attached to this privilege

A number of Muslim women have gone on X to call out their men who are always fighting for their right to marry multiple wives.

The X users pointed out that the men do not “follow the Sunnah like the Prophet directed” but the only part they follow is the one that allows them to marry multiple women.

 

An X user named Rihanat wrote: “Muslim men and fighting for their rights to be polygamous yet not following the Sunnah like the Prophet directed.

 

“They act like it’s an obligation but it’s not. It’s permissible but not compulsory. They clauses attached to it, 99.9% of them wouldn’t be able to fulfill it.

 

“Widows, they won’t marry.

 

“Treat and love all wives equally, NEVER.

 

“Marry divorced, poor or disabled women?? NO

 

“If it’s going to cause problems in your first marriage, don’t marry!! NO

 

“Just a bunch of unserious fellows.”

 

 

Another wrote: “The same Islam that said provision should be for a man solely and a woman’s money is her money,if she decides to bring money to be house it should be her decision not because she was forced or anything.

 

“The same men are demanding for 50/50 talking about how difficult the economy.”

 

She added: “When they see second woman matter Them Dey rise up. Other sunnahs they fail woefully.”

 

 

Another added: “Na only marry four wives them know. They are deaf to the clause attached.”

 

 

 

This comes after a popular businessman on X Suraj Oyewole, better known as  Sir Jarus, admitted he beat up his wife of 14 years after she tried to deny him is “Islamic right to pick a second wife” (read here).

 

He added that he beat her when he discovered she went to a Cele Prophet to prevent him from taking the wife.

 

 

His admission led to an outcry as Nigerians tagged the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency.

 

 

Sir Jarus deleted his tweets but screenshots had already been taken.

 

The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency replied that they are looking into the case and abuse will never be tolerated in the state (read here).
