Is it not amazing that an Islamic scholar like you has just one wife, why? I think being polygenious which some people call polygamy is not brought by Islam. What Islam did was to put a limit that you may have more than one but whatever it is, you can not have more than four. But unfortunately, those who don’t understand Islam misunderstand that Islam instituted polygamy. Islam does not compel anyone to have more than one but to put a limit of four at most. For me, I’m doing what is Islamic because it is not unislamic to have one wife. In fact, it is unislamic to marry more than your capacity. There are responsibilities attached such as financial, emotional and physical responsibilities before you can marry more than one. You can’t just pack women like sardines in a place because everyone of them should be treated equally and adequately. As far as I am concerned, I am satisfied with having one wife. I have heard rumours that maybe I had a wife somewhere; I don’t even have a girlfriend or a mistress anywhere. I am preparing to go back to my God and I don’t have time for any other market that I will not be able to finish. ~ PROF. ISHAQ OLOYEDE (Former Vice-chancellor UNILORIN and the Secretary General of Nigeria Supreme of Islamic Affairs)
