Sorry, prohibited was the wrong word. Even so, 'not recommended' still sounds like it is something bad or disliked in Islam, when it is nothing like that. As a matter of fact, if you fulfill the conditions for taking multiple wives, nothing in Islam remotely suggests having one wife is better.

Yes, but nothing suggests that having more than one wife is better either.

Not recommended can mean different things... but the main meaning I think she was using was that there will be no extra reward in doing so... or having more than one wife won't make you any diff from other men who have only one... kinda like that.

And it is actually better to have one wife because having others is a big responsibility for you have to treat each the same way and it can be verrryyy hard to do so, and its rare nowadays to find a husband that is equally fair among his wives
