Actually sister ummHasan the situation is very complex. There are men who want to get married more than once....society frowns upon it so either they get a secret wife, commit zina etc. I think if society changed it's attitude towards 2nd marriages then it would prevent a lot of abuse. A lot of problems are not really related to maintenance as I told you the government provides housing in many cases. Even many people don't actually provide their first wife with housing it's the government who provides it (I'm talking about the UK). The problems are related to secrecy and lieing usually involving keeping it hidden from first wife and family. I heard one guy say something when we were discussing polygamy. He said have you heard of a guji keeping a legit 2nd wife?

The 2nd problem is about divorcees. We face a massive problem and it is not any better. If one looks at the earlier generations one will see a relatively high divorce rate in % but you see the society catered to divorcees and they were remarried again. Where they remarried to virgins? Were the marriages monogamous or polygamous involving these divorced ladies? I would like to know if you can answer my question as I'm a jahil.
