When scholars discuss marriage, such as in lectures, they often refer to a one husband and one wife model, akin to Western monogamous norms. Does this imply that Islamic polygamy has become irrelevant in contemporary discussions?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Islamic rules can never be irrelevant in any time or place. Islamic rules apply every where and every time according to its conditions  and the circumstances. Polygamy has its own conditions for those who need it. Western monogamy is just a claim when their own studies confirm that most of them have illegitimate affairs during marriage while Islam is frank and clear in dealing with matters by organizing a system to protect people from sinful sexual behaviour.

In the West, many men have their lives destroyed by being accused of sexual misconduct, without any proof. Is this acceptable in Islam?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Islam does not accept accusations but asks for concrete evidence to stab lush whether the person committed a crime or hot. Muslims must follow Islamic Sharia.
