@purplephish20 I don't think they have bananas. Back to the original point, those laws are there for the same reason the poligamy is allowed: To mantain a strong and big society. Men marry and protect many women, to have multiple children, since men die in wars and due to the harsh conditions of work, and women aren't allowed to leave alone the house so they cannot be stolen. In modern times, these things are seen as evil and drastic, but some hundred of years ago, those laws kept the society strong in times of war. And war was common for muslims, as it is today, since their lands are always involved in one or other conflict.
