COUNTERING MISLEADING NARRATIVE RELATED TO AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI ON POLYGAMY

Someone on social media made a post:

"Imam Khamenei's view on polygamy:

God is one, love is one, and so your beloved should also be one."

While this sounds nice, the context isn't like how some feminists or some women may think it is.

Ayatollah Khamenei states it clearly that polygamy for men is mubah, allowed, according to the reasoning of the Qur'an, it is conditional based on the assurance one can maintain justice between spouses. Therefore, whenever it is rationally probable that the wives will be treated unequally, another marriage for the husband is not permissible.

The views of Ayatollah Khamenei are NOT against polygamy for men, nor that what he said is an excuse to justify atheistic and secularist thinking regarding marriage, rather it is common sense and aligns with Islam itself and the concept of equality/justice between the second, third or fourth wife. His words were said in a specific context.

We doubt that the original poster meant to do that to justify feminism or anything against Islam or to twist Ayatollah Khamenei's words and opinions, it is very important to convey the full message and provide the context, otherwise people will be mislead and assume that Ayatollah Khamenei is justifying feminism, which is never the case.

Our leaders and marja' must never be exploited or misused to open any door or leave any room for such deviant belief to sneak its way in our ideology
