Question
What are the rewards of marrying more than one wife? Some people say that if there is no valid reason, it will not be permissible to take a second wife. Is this correct?
Answer
It is bunkum. We are not aware of any rewards for marrying more than one wife.
The desire for another wife is a valid reason by itself. The very reason for which a man marries a first wife applies when marrying a second and a third and a fourth wife. The fact that it is permissible to marry more than one wife is sufficient valid reason.
