Mohammad was originally a monogamist for 25 years. He married his wealthy, twice-divorced distant cousin, Khadijah in 595 AD.
Khadijah was ± 28 and Muhammad was ± 26. Ibn Ishaq, cited in Al-Hakim, Mustadrak vol. 3 p. 182. Ibn Kathir, Al-Bidaya wa’l-Nihaya vol. 5 p. 293 He remained married to her for 24 years until her death in 619 AD. Guillaume/Ishaq 82-83, 106-107, 111, 113-114, 160-161, 191, 313-314. Ibn Hisham note 918. Al-Tabari, Vol. 9, pp. 127-128; Al-Tabari, Vol. 39, pp. 3-4 Bewley/Saad 8:9-12, 39, 151-152. After the death of Khadijah, Muhammad received a revelation to marry Aisha.
In 619 AD, after he received a revelation Muhammad asked Abu Baker for Aisha’s hand in Marriage. Aisha was 6 Years old. Muhammad did not consume the marriage until her 9th year. Sahih Bukhari 2:26:740. Guillaume/Ishaq 148, 309, 530. Ibn Hisham note 918. Al-Tabari, Vol. 9, pp. 128-130; Al-Tabari, Vol. 39, pp. 169-170. Bewley/Saad 8:39-42, 152. In the meantime Muhammad married Sawa Year: 619 AD Name: Sawda bint Zam'a. Muhammad: 49 Wife: 40. She was obese and not very attractive. Sahih Bukhari 2:26:740. Guillaume/Ishaq 148, 309, 530. Aisha Year: 622 AD Name: Sayyidah Aisha Muhammad: 53 Wife: 9 She was Muhammad’s favorited wife and he spent most of his time at her. Once he married her, he disliked his first wife Sawa (after Kadijah), and Sawa gave up her night with Muhammad in favour of Aisha so she would not be divorced. All this was confirmed through divine revelations. It is said the reason why Muhammad wanted to divorce Sawa was that Sawa was old, however, she was 9 years younger than Muhammad!

Ibn al-Qayyim, Zaad al-Ma’ad 1:114 How many Wives can a Muslim man have?
No more than 4 … And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice]. (Qur'an, Sura 4 (An-Nisa), Ayah 3)
But Muhammad could have… (Q 33:50) O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. IN 12 Years Muhammad married 16 women, Married to 13 at once.

Because Women have menses Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion." Sahih Bukhari 1:6:301 Muhammad tells the women that they are also deficient in religion. Islam is very much a works-based religion; every day of fasting 'counts' for your reward in heaven, every prayer, every 'good deed' (as outlined in the Qur'an). Since women are not allowed to pray or fast during their menses, this means that a woman doing every 'good deed' she is able to do, and a man doing every 'good deed' they are able to, will result in the man receiving a higher reward from Allah because he was able to do more religious deeds than the female. Only 4 Muslim women in paradise? • The Messenger of Allaahsalallaahu alaihi wa salam drew four lines on the ground, then he said, “Do you know what this is?” We said, “Allaah and His Messenger know best.” The Messenger of Allaah salallaahu alaihi wa salam said: “The best of the women of Paradise are Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid, Faatimah bint Muhammad, Aasiyah bint Mazaahim the wife of Pharaoh, and Maryam bint ‘Imraan – Radhiallaahu anhumaa ajma'een.
• (Reported in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad 2663 and it's Saheeh ) Allah will give Muslim men some heavenly whores in Paradise who have round breasts, and are perpetually virgin!
(Q 54: 44) We shall unite them to maidens with big black and white lovely eyes. "This number (72) is only for men. A woman will have only one husband in Paradise, and she will be satisfied with him and will not need any more than that. The Muslim woman – who is not influenced by the claims of those who propagate permissiveness and knows that she is not like men in her make-up and nature, because Allaah has made her like that – does not object to the rulings of Allaah or feel angry. Rather she accepts what Allaah has decreed for her. Her sound nature tells her that she cannot live with more than one man at a time. So long as she has entered Paradise, she will have all that she desires, so she should not dispute now about the delights and rewards that her Lord has chosen for her, for your Lord does not treat anyone unjustly.", Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen, "The female martyr and the male martyr’s reward of seventy-two hoor al-‘iyn“ "Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering like the full moon... Their wives will be houris ..." - Sahih Bukhari 4:55:544 "Allah’s Apostle (The blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "In Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single hollow pearl sixty miles wide, in each corner of which there are wives who will not see those in the other corners; and the believers will visit and enjoy them." - Sahih Bukhari 6:60:402 "They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes." - Qur'an 52:20 72 Heavenly Whores?
It was reported in the hadeeth of al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Karb that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The martyr (shaheed) has seven blessings from Allaah: he is forgiven from the moment his blood is first shed; he will be shown his place in Paradise; he will be spared the trial of the grave; and he will be secure on the Day of the Greatest Terror (the Day of Judgement); there will be placed on his head a crown of dignity, one ruby of which is better than this world and all that is in it; he will be married to seventy-two of al-hoor al-‘iyn; and he will be permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.” According to another report, the martyr has six blessings from Allaah. According to other reports (the number is) six, or nine, or ten – Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who said it is a hasan hadeeth. Also narrated by Ibn Maajah in al-Sunan, by Ahmad, by ‘Abd al-Razzaaq in al-Musannaf, by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, and by Sa’eed ibn Mansoor in al-Sunan Does this not make more sense?
Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. ====== Mar 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
