Polygamy is an important issue for equal rights for men and women. In this regard, many commentators and Quran scholars have commented that there have been questions and contradictions. In this research, the opinions of commentators and Quran-researchers in the interpretation of verses 3 and 129 of Surah Nisa based on library sources have been analyzed and compared by analytical-interpretive method to obtain a suitable epistemological approach in this field. The purpose of this article is to examine the rights of women in the modern world and to reject discrimination against them in the issue of polygamy. Commentators and Qur'anic scholars in this field are divided into opponents and supporters, whose opponents are divided into two groups: conditional and absolute, and those who agree are only conditional. The results show that; Conditional opponents express their opposition with conditions. Absolute opponents also consider polygamy as oppression of women. Proponents of polygamy are also conditional. The results of this article show that appropriate interpretations are in the historical and cultural context of the present and according to the needs of the modern world that consider the dignity and freedom of women. It seems that the interpretations of the conditional opponents are more in line with the needs of today's society

Polygamy as a cultural category is one of the important issues in the field of women's studies. This issue has been relatively common in previous societies. What is certain that polygamy existed more or less among different classes and strata of Iranian society during the Qajar era. In the literary and political texts of the late period of Naseral-Din Shah and especially after the constitution, due to the familiarity of writers and poets with the West and theexpansion of communication, more attention is paid to women's issues. This research, relying on the literary and political texts and sourcesof the Qajar and constitutional eras and new researches, has researched and investigated the approachof political, social and literary texts to the issue of polygamy by descriptive-explanatory method and content analysis. Studies show that paying attention to this issue and its causes and consequences in the critical view of literary and political thinkers from middle of the Qajar period and especially theconstitutional period became very important and became one of the important issues in their studies. It is worth pondering that informing women about their position and not considering it normal has been one of the issues of concern to intellectuals and thinkers

The rule of hardship refers to the circumstances in which an obligation has been imposed on someone beyond his power and he has the right to withdraw from the contract. In marital relations, there are examples of hardship, part of which is reflected in Article 1130 of the Civil Code. At present, remarriage of a married man within the framework of the law, with full respect for the wife's rights, can not be a reason for the wife's right to divorce. The research method in this research is analytical-descriptive. Research question: What is the wife's right to divorce in case of legal remarriage? It seems that according to jurisprudential interpretations, especially the statements of Imam Khomeini (ra) such a right is established. It was stated that Imam Khomeini (ra) did not consider the examples of the rule of hardship to be exclusive and considered any factor that makes life exhausting in any way as a reason for a woman to leave life without her husband's permission. They have also stated that the couple's second marriage, even if it is legal, is an infidelity if it takes place without regard to the interests of the family. The result is that due to the negative effects of the family changing from monogamy to polygamy, which causes overwhelming pressure on the first wife, despite not being mentioned in

Despite the substantial changes in the contemporary family buildings throughout the world, the behaviour of fertility and childbearing in many societies including Iran still rests upon marital union as a key and vital prerequisite for fertility and childbearing. In this line, the present study focuses primarily on marriage patterns from a demographic perspective, and examines the major dimensions and determinants associated with attitudes towards marriage patterns. This analysis identifies marriage patterns by such indicators as ideal age of marriage for girls and boys, endogamy, polygamy, the place of marriage in women's priority. The results of this article is based on a survey conducted in selected rural and urban areas of Iran, that includes 4267 males and females aged 15-64 years old. The preliminary results of this analysis indicate that the ideal age of marriage for girls and boys are respectively 21-24 years and 25-27 years old; almost half of the respondents are in favour of endogamy; education and marriage have the highest rank in women's priority; and males hold a substantially more positive attitude towards polygamy than females. These general patterns, however, are significantly affected by such demographic determinants as age, gender, urban-rural areas of residence, marital status, education, religiosity, and gender attitude.

This study describes the place of polygamy in the present society based on Quran. Data has been derived from Quran, interpretation, and the books written by religious science experts. Descriptive and analytical method has been used in this article. The subject of polygamy has been always investigated from different and contradictory viewpoints of experts. Documentary about polygamy according to Quran, the principle of moral and legal sociability, some viewpoints related to religious preference, the approval of polygamy, reverence and also judge's prohibition in non-emergency are not compatible with aforesaid principle. But based on Quran's viewpoint, monogamy is the principle and it says, in contemporary society, polygamy means social abuse in unnecessary situations. Because of the need of an appropriate behavior with women in contemporary society, men are never allowed to remarry since it can cause their wife’s suffering. In addition, referring to the related verse based on limitation and reformation of Arab customs of revelation age is a clear referent of this fact.

The phenomenon of polygamy although is not the dominant structure of family life in Iran, but among the Sunni people, particularly the Baloch, is a common phenomenon such that the highest observed proportion of polygamy is in Sistan and Balochistan province. The tribal structure of the Baloch people and their adherence to their ethnic and religious tradition have paved the way for this phenomenon. This phenomenological study, by investigating the causes of polygamy spread among the Baloch living in Chabahar, seeks to answer the question “How polygamous culture has been able to reproduce itself?”. On the other hand, “Are Baloch women willing and able to resist against polygamous family structure or simply have accepted these conditions?”. It was found out that Polygamy in Sistan and Balochistan is an accepted culture because in many cases, it increases the number of children and, as a result, the social and economic power of the family and tribe. This is against the situation of Baloch women in the social and economic hierarchy, their financial dependence, lack of legal support for divorce, and lack of social support. In addition, the breadth of this phenomenon has a cultural background, rather than age or wealth of men, and it cannot be limited to a particular tribe or social class. Regarding second question, findings of the current study showed that, although the decision to live in polygamy is usually a one-sided decision made by men, women are not only passive and receptive because compensation or revenge-based strategies have given them a degree of subjectivity to react against this family structure in an informal and silent way.

Given the fact that polygamy "polygamy" is subject to the existence of certain conditions (derived from sharia and law), it is possible for realization; the protection of women's rights, community health, and indirect and indirect consequences of polygamy on the family as the most fundamental The social institution dictates the importance of the legislator's attention to this category.

Is based on the fact that the legitimate and justifiable reasons for applying for a new marriage are named in the law and the petition for the resignation is subject to the existence of one of these The reasons for the trial are given to the wife of the party and also the specialized counseling body in the petitions which are due to non-compliance are in the text of the law.

Social health depends on different social and cultural factors. One of the most important suppliers of individual’s health is family structures and relations.

Polygamy is one of the absolute and agreed-upon creeds in all the Islamic sects and groups. This has been expressed in verse 3 of Surat An-Nisā (the Women) in the Quran. However, the verse appears ambiguous as it has a conditional structure and the creed is bound by two conditions. The interpreters hold various viewpoints on the matter. The relation between the first clauses—expressed conditionally—with the second clause and its penalty is one of these ambiguities. The present study, while explicating various interpretations of this verse, existing narrations, literal indications, and other reasons presents a new interpretation of the polygamy verse which rejects it as an absolute and unconditional creed and binds it to certain restricted social conditions and requirements.

This study seeks to furnish the rationale and philosophy for the permissibility of polygamy in Islam. It endeavors to present a coherent explanation in order to defend this rule against the existing questions and objections in the contemporary era. Elaborating on the correct method of defending the juridical and legal rules and regulations, the author presents three major views as the rationales. The most important factor for permissibility of polygamy in Islam is the dissimilarity of sexual instincts between man and woman and greater excitability and vigorousness of that instinct in men which has led to legalization of polygamy in Islam. That is because the current legal system in many countries which is based on monogamy has failed to regulate the sexual relations between men or to prevent extra-marital relationships. Conclusively, it can be said that monogamy in ordinary situations is morally more desirable and permissibility of polygamy is based on certain inevitable exigencies which have something to do with men's powerful sexual drive. Thus, only in case of need and in urgent cases, action may be taken for remarriage.

It has been, and still is, common in scientific and academic circles to speak of women’s rights. This approach is growing more in view of the recent increase in trends for defending women’s rights. Most of the works written in defense of Islamic teachings state the philosophies of religious legislation. The writer uses a new outlook to the women’s rights and their obligations to explain the legislator’s basis in legislating rules for social behaviors; He, then, deals with some questions expressed in the realm of women’s rights regarding the following issues: not accepting women’s testimony in some cases, women’s judgment, polygamy, religious precept on Hijab, and the man’s heading the family. The writer, then, answers these questions on the basis of the principle he calls ‘obligation-centrality and negating false rights’.

Monogamy, as opposed to polygamy, is the most natural form of the sociolegal institution. The history of monogamy is as long as that of mankind. It can be studied within the fields of sociology and law. The polygamy, on the other hand, has been formed in the course of time, is considered to be a social phenomenon resulting from various customs and traditions, and is thus a historical phenomenon not a religious one. From a legal point of view in the Islamic law, and as a result of it, in the Iranian law, monogamy is seen as a principle, yet some social realities make polygamy as a necessity and exception in the Islamic and Iranian law, despite the monogamy principle. The study of motives for monogamy and its sociological consequences in the on the one hand, and a consideration of monogamy principle in Islamic and Iranian law, on the other, clearly show firmness of the principle of monogamy and exceptionality of polygamy.

Polygamy, which means simultaneously marrying with more than one woman, is dependent on observing certain constraints and considering justice from the viewpoint of the holly legislator. After defining polygamy, the paper studies the phenomenon in various religions and nations, analyzing the causes from different perspectives. According to the writer, polygamy on the part of the man results in his first wife’s feeling disappointed, lonely, and distrustful to others and in familial and economical predicaments. Interestingly, statistics show polygamy is decreasing and according to polls the rate of the opponents of polygamy is more than that of the proponents. Finally, suggestions are proposed to decrease the rate of polygamy and its consequences.

Based on the holly Quranic verse "… marry the women who seem good to you, two or three or four …", a man may have more than one spouse simultaneously. Although the holy verse goes on saying that polygamy is allowed if justice is observed, facts reveal that, no man commits polygamy with the intention to observe justice. Injustice among the wives and the obscene oppression, from which generally the first wife suffers, has rendered a displeasing sight of polygamy in the society. Women's knowledge of their right to set up contract conditions guaranteeing their rights at the time of marriage in case their husbands attend polygamy, and the legislator's authoritative intervention to provide a lawful framework of religious and legal restrictions, and supervision of the conducts of men with more than one wife can decrease the rate of polygamy and its detestable sight. This paper discusses issues like the basis of polygamy, the concept of justice, criticism and study of the civil law, etc. and suggests that by setting up contraction conditions at the time of marriage and enacting authoritative regulations by the legislator, the wives will suffer less damage in case of plural marriage by their husbands.
