Some modern writers have gone to the extent of concluding that since it is almost impossible to do full justice between wives, a man should limit himself to one wife, a few muslim countries earlier this century went further to make laws prohibiting polygamy under any circumstances.

However , this is going beyond what is warranted in the qur'an and Sunnah Wich have not prohibited polygamy but only limited it and made it conditional on fair treatment

Therefore while monogamy may be regarded as the norm and the commonest form of marriage , polygamy still has a role To play under some circumstances for example problems sometimes arise as the result of disability in the first wife such as

1- infertility

2 - serious illness, physical handicap, disablement or serious injuries due to accident etc

3- mental illness

All these conditions deserve the sympathy of the husband. At the same time if he is deprived of some the satisfaction of marriage due to the wife conditions ,he may find necessary or desirable to marry another wife the strick law of monogamy would force him to divorce the first wife in order to marry another , under the Islamic law he can be married to both Wich see tobe fairer to the first wife who is not guilty of any offence but is only ill
