This verse is paired up with [[Dealing_Justly_with_Wives_and_Orphans | Quran 4:3]] in order to show that the apparent endorsement to [[polygamy]] is actually an injunction. The apologist will state that Qur'an 4:3 requires a man to deal justly with all of his wives if he wishes to marry more than one. To further make this point, Qur'an 4:129 is next brought up to show that the Qur'an informs Muslims that this is not possible. | This verse is paired up with [[Dealing_Justly_with_Wives_and_Orphans | Quran 4:3]] in order to show that the apparent endorsement to [[Polygamy in Islamic Law|polygamy]] is actually an injunction.

However this explanation hinges on the meaning and scope of the required "justice" within both verses and any possible remedies to any dealt injustices. As [[Dealing_Justly_with_Wives_and_Orphans | illustrated in another article]], Qur'an 4:3's usage of the word "justice" only refers to the giving of an equitable [[Mahr (Marital Price)|Mahr]] and material provisions to any subsequent wives and as such, is not evidence of a polygamous injunction. | However this explanation hinges on the meaning and scope of the required "justice" within both verses and any possible remedies to any dealt injustices.
