Hinduism-islam

Truth:

Both traditions historically allowed polygamy, though with strict conditions. In ancient Hindu texts, kings and wealthy men could have multiple wives, though monogamy was preferred. In Islam, a man can have up to four wives, but only if he can treat them all equally and justly. The Quran states: "And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one" (4:3). Both traditions emphasize: 1) Justice and equal treatment, 2) Ability to provide for all, 3) Not as a license but as a responsibility, 4) Monogamy is preferred when possible. Modern Hindu law in India prohibits polygamy, while Islamic law allows it with strict conditions. Both traditions recognize that treating multiple wives justly is extremely difficult.
