It explains that what is established in the sound is that every man in Paradise will have two wives, and it is mentioned in some hadiths that these two wives will be from the houris.
It indicates that martyrs will be married to seventy houris, and that the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise will have seventy-two wives (two from the women of this world and seventy from the houris).
