Unveiling Virtue: Marriage and Spousal Treatment Across Religious Scriptures

  In a world marked by diversity of faith and belief, the concept of marriage and the treatment of spouses is a common thread that weaves through various religious scriptures. While the Quran explicitly addresses the issue of multiple wives, many other sacred texts emphasize the virtues of marriage and the importance of treating one's spouse with kindness and respect. Across religious traditions, marriage is often upheld as a sacred bond between two individuals, reflecting the unity of spirit and purpose. The Quran, in particular, outlines regulations regarding polygamy, permitting a man to marry up to four wives under specific circumstances. This directive, though subject to various interpretations, highlights the significance of responsibility and fairness in maintaining multiple marriages. In contrast, many other religious texts, such as the Bible, the Torah, and the teachings of various Eastern philosophies, do not provide explicit limits on the number of wives a man may have.
