way so that at any time he has four legal wives. According to these
reports he has so far "married " 40 women in this manner.

carries on. Maybe the reason is that it makes some kind of
pleasant dream for abnormal men. The reality is not so, I think,
in the case of the Kuwaiti Emir because most Arab men are accused
of the same.

Since people will respond to you, Islam allwed men to marry 4 women at a time
which in my beleive people abusing this rule because you have to be fair with
all your wifes and GOD said (S.W.) "if can not be fair; just one".
I think the question sould be?
if a man has 40 or 400 does he treat them all the same? does he sleeps; spend
time;has a feeling etc.. with his four wifes equally? including the new ones?
His TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) should be pretty effecient!
Is Islam allow men to marry and put a condition that "the wife can not
re-marry after divorce"?. Ignoring her right to have sex rest of her life?
while men can do it any time they like? (since they can marry and divorce any
time).
What I beleive women should not allow this to happen. Should have a voice
against it, but mind you they don't have a right to vote yet!
WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE TREATED EQUALY AND FAIRLY.

Yes it is, and actually this is why the American placed him back in his
palace..i.e. to practice his fair behavior in choosing women, and not to keep
the Kuwati's oil and money flowing into the western banks.

Actually, excluding numeric specifity, it is true. I dunno about
whether he (Sheikh Jaber) has constantly had 4 wives, but it is a fact
that he has many, MANY children from many, many different wives. This is
arguable whether it's against Islam's teaching's (probably not), but it's
become widespread and a topic of gossip simply because it RARELY ever
happens, even in royalty families in the Middle East.

The english equivalent for 'nashez' would be disobedient, rebellious,
recalcitrant, etc. etc. Much has been said about what is 'nushooz'. I
having personally read al-Tabari's explanation of this word in his
'jami al-bayaa fi taweel-al-Qur'an', can testify that a wife's
refusal to deny her husband's request for sexual intercourse constitutes
nushooz. Mr.Fuad Haddad on SRI corrected me to say that it's only when
the wife has a legitimate excuse. We all know the relevant verse
about nushooz by now, so I will not dwell on it. Here are a few
aHadeeth (for non-Arabophones, it's the plural of 'Hadith') directly from
'Riyadh-al-Saliheen' by al-Nawawi. They are all, "Sahih" by the way:
1) A woman should satisfy her husband even if it's on the back of a camel.
2) A woman who doesn't respond to a husband's call (for sex) is cursed
by angels.
3) If God had allowed prostration before humans, I would have ordered a
wife
to prostrate before her husband.

Yes. A woman CANNOT get divorce from her husband if he's impotent, unless
he has a chance to try to impregnate her for a year. A woman CANNOT get
divorce under Islamic law if the marriage is consummated! If you want
references, I will be glad to give them.
>* A man is allowed, even advised, to *beat* his wife to "straighten" her
up;

other

Both true, although people will dispute whether it's advised or just
allowed and some will even try to water down the meaning of 'daraba'.
>* If a woman is cought cheating on her husband, the husband would be

>honour", again, doesn't go both ways;
That I think is not under Islamic law really. The husband can bring
up the case against the wife in a court, and if she's found guilty,
she WILL be executed via stoning. It is interesting to note here that
stoning is never mentioned in the Qur'an. However, there is a tradition
from A'isha that Umar said that there was a verse regarding 'stoning'.
For example, see Ibn Ishaq's Sirat-al-Rasool-Allah.
>* The husband can force his wife to wear religious clothing (hejab);
That is ABSOLUTELY true and Islamic.

True. This is what has been frustrating me all along. Very often we see
posts where people say that some 'aalim' can answer all these questions
that they don't know about. Frankly, I have a very low opinion of people
who do not ask the questions themselves and try answering them instead
of holding blind faith in the opinion of some 'aalim'.
