Polygamy in the islamic world; Psychosocial and verbal abuse towards the women and treating the women as property

Abstract

This study comprises anecdotes regarding the domestic violence and its occurrence on the social basis. It reveals that the commons who appear like living according to the Quran and the Sunnah actually stuff religion with customs and traditions and they treat the women by bringing the lust regarding the nafs into the forefront rather than the Islamic thought. The purpose of this article is to show the real approach of Quran and Sunnah on this matter and offer some solutions in this regard. It also aims to lay emphasis on the injustice regarding the matter of the women being treated as property with polygamy and explain that this religious permit is misunderstood and incorrectly practiced.
