In the pre-Islamic Arabian society, the position of women was very bad. In those days, the customary laws of Arabia were all in favour of the males. The females were treated as properties and not as human beings. The only object of a marriage was the enjoyment of sex and procreation of children. When Islam came into being, the females were given due social status and they regarded as dignified members of the society. Islam prohibits limitless polygamy and no Muslim is now allowed to marry with more than four wives at a time. So for a happy family life firm union of the husband and wife is a necessary condition.
