Investigating The Issue Of Polygamy And Its Relationship With Female Nature

One of the reasons for the immortality and comprehensiveness of Islam is the conformity of its rules with human nature (Fitrah). Some people have raised the doubt that allowing polygamy up to four wives is contrary to the nature of the woman and her sense of exclusivity, who is reluctant to see a second wife for her husband.
