It Is Dangerous For A Man To Marry Only One Wife - Islamic Scholar, Muyideen Bello

Popular Islamic scholar, Sheik Muyideen Bello known for his tough lectures and powerful speakings

He is fearless about it. In one of his lectures titled Legal Marriage, Sheik Bello spoke about why a man should marry more than 1 wife.

In his words;

“Allah said a man should marry any kind of woman he likes. As a man, if you want to marry a fair-complexioned or dark woman, marry her. Allah said we should start from 2 women. I know women will not like to hear this. If you have to marry, start with 2 women, that is what the Quran says. 

The Yorubas have a saying that a man with 1 woman isn’t a real man. For instance if you are married to 1 wife and she over-salts your food, you have just 1 wife. You don’t have a choice than to eat the food or buy food outside.

“I have received so many messages from people that why should I encourage polygamy. I tell them, is it me encouraging polygamy? Allah said you should marry 2, 3, 4. Allah said if as a man you know you can’t take care of them, then marry 1. 

Then if you are a me&my wife kind of man, the implications are too many. 

As Muslims, 4 women is the maximum a man can have, have 2 living with you then if you have 2 houses outside, you put the other 2 there. The implications in marrying just 1 wife are too many.”
