The question

If the contract is a marriage of compensation between money and pleasure, what do we call it? And why does sex occur between the spouses in exchange for money? And why is it permissible for a man, but not a woman, to have multiple marital relationships? And is a woman considered a sexual tool? And does a man's movement between several women lead to the transmission of diseases to them and among them?

The answer

The enquirer should seek knowledge with humility and submission to the rulings of Allah, while it is permissible to seek wisdom after submission. The legislation of dowry (mahr) and polygyny for men contains great wisdoms, including honoring women and preserving societies. Polyandry (multiple husbands for one woman) is not conducive to family bonds or the determination of lineage, prevents women from fulfilling their duties, and leads to the spread of moral corruption and sexually transmitted diseases. In contrast, polygyny for men protects society from these afflictions and increases marriage opportunities for women.
