In some of my earlier days of IC, there have been some discussions on this. Many sisters have mentioned that you can put in the marriage contract not to have another wife. If you want you can try to search the old forum, the link is up to in the right hand corner and then try the women's corner.

In the 'muslim world' do anyone feel as if muslim men and woman will cheat less versus men and woman that follow other faiths or no particular faith at all?

Also do a muslim woman have a right to tell their husband that they DO NOT want a co-wife?

I was once told I should not deny a man 'his sunnah' if he wanted another wife. I was interested in knowing what others think.

I would wonder if I told him no, or told him I did not want that, it would lead him to cheating......

(im not married yet, but I am considering marriage to a brother)

I can't say anything different than what Abuayisha said but I will say this thread is an extension of many irrelevant topics we discussed. I will extend abuayisha's nicely said comments.

Cheaters regardless of sex have the same reasons why they cheat. Even if statistics show men cheat more than women does not necessitate anything except what abu noted-opportunity. In California women outnumber men with a ratio of 10 to 1. I'm a hot commodity (not trying to toot my own horn) because I have a career, education, no kids, and I keep myself fit. In this kind of society you will attract many women both single and married. What does a single man like myself do? Imagine if I was married.It seems most of these things happen where I work and where I live and has become a constant phenomenon where I live this is where proximity comes in going back to abuayisha's comment.

So to ask the question why men cheat would be the same question we ask women. Women and men cheat virtually for the same reasons.

Proximity, opportunity, complicity (support of women) and weakness or lack of faith - what say you?

Salam everyone.

We do hear stories of men cheating their loved ones, whether it be wives or girlfriends. There must be reason for this.

Not that women do not cheat, but there are more cases of men cheating. Hope to hear some reasons behind this practice.

I got to go now, see u all again.

Tks n rgds
