Polygamy, and the Prophet Muhammad

Historically, Jewish law permitted polygamy without limit and it is well known that the Prophets of the Torah had many many wives, and so we find that polygyny is permissible according to them and narrated from their prophets themselves.
Christian Law: There cannot be found a definitive scriptural prohibition of polygyny in the New Testament, but one finds in the Christians of the first generations, those who permitted the practice of polygyny, being specific to certain places and particular circumstances.
This book helps in explaining the concept of polygamy in Islam. It shows that Muslims are not the first nation which encourages this system but there were many nations -such as the ancient Christians- support this behaviour. Afterwards, it shows the legality and conditions of this system, and rights and duties of marriage partners under it.
