Die Bahai-Religion lehrt die Einehe, jedoch entnahm ich einer Quelle,dass
Baha’u’llah mit 3 Frauen gleichzeitig liiert war.
Ich schätze er wuchs nach muslimischen Traditionen auf, trotzdem finde ich das widersprüchlich.
Kann mir jemand dieses Thema näher erläutern?

Liebe Jolie,
Soweit ich weiss hatte Bahaullah drei Ehefrauen, bevor sich Gott in Ihm offenbarte und das heilige Gebot der Einehe formuliert wurde.
Seine zweite und dritte Frau verließen Ihn samt Kinder, nachdem Er Seine Stufe verkündete und das Leiden begann. Er starb also in einer monogamen Ehe.
Und wie du schon angemerkt hast wuchs er als Moslem auf und wurde erst mit 27 ein Babi.
LG

Hallo jolie,
es stimmt das Baha'u'llah mit drei Frauen verheiratet war, wie es für einen Muslim Seiner Stellung in Persien auch die Norm war. An sich unterbot er sein Umfeld sogar bei weitem, Sein Vater war z.B. mit sieben Frauen verheiratet.
Nun war die Ehe mit diesen Frauen vor der Offenbarung des Kitábi-i-Aqdas besiegelt und gültig. Ein Baha'i muss sich von Ehepartnern mit denen er vorher eine legale und gültige Ehe geschlossen hat nicht trennen.
Stelle dir mal vor jeder muslimische Mann hätte alle seine weiteren Frauen aus dem Haus werfen müssen. Das wäre der soziale und wirtschaftliche Tod für diese Frauen gewesen, besonders da die Baha'i ja bei den Muslimen im allgemeinen sowieso schon verhasst waren. Auch musst du sehen das, auch wenn wir uns das vielleicht nicht vorstellen können, da oft intakte und glückliche Familien hinter steckten, die man doch nicht einfach zerreißen konnte.
Lieber Rahiym,

Das stimmt so nicht. Die zweite und dritte Frauen brachen erst den Bund nach Baha'u'llahs Hinscheiden.

Dear xxxx,
....
Regarding the wives of Bahá'u'lláh, extracts from letters written on behalf of the beloved Guardian set this subject in context. They indicate that Bahá'u'lláh was "acting according to the laws of Islam, which had not yet been superseded", and that He was following "the customs of the people of His own land":
...as regards Bahá'u'lláh's marriage it should be noted that His three marriages were all contracted before He revealed His Book of Laws, and even before His declaration in Baghdad, at a time when Bahá'í marriage laws had not yet been known, and the Revelation not yet disclosed.
(25 May 1938 to a National Spiritual Assembly)
Bahá'u'lláh had no concubine, He had three legal wives. As He married them before the "Aqdas" (His book of laws) was revealed, He was only acting according to the laws of Islam, which had not yet been superseded. He made plurality of wives conditional upon justice; 'Abdu'l-Bahá interpreted this to mean that a man may not have more than one wife at a time, as it is impossible to be just to two or more women in marriage.
(11 February 1944 to an individual believer)
...Bahá'u'lláh married the first and second wives while He was still in Tihran, and the third wife while He was in Baghdad. At that time, the Laws of the "Aqdas" had not been revealed, and secondly, He was following the Laws of the previous Dispensation and the customs of the people of His own land.
(14 January 1953 to an individual believer)
The three wives of Bahá'u'lláh were:
Nawab (Asiyih Khanum): married some time between 24 September and 22 October 1835; died 1886; seven children.
Mahd-i-'Ulya (Fatimih Khanum): born 1828; married 1849; died 1904; six children. She broke the Covenant after the Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh as did all her children. See God Passes By (Wilmette: Bahá'í Publishing Trust, 1987), chapter 15.
Gawhar Khanum: married in Baghdad; died during the Ministry of 'Abdu'l-Bahá; one child. She and her daughter both broke the Covenant after the Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh. See God Passes By, chapter 15.
On the subject of monogamy, it is stated in note 89 of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas:
Polygamy is a very ancient practice among the majority of humanity. The introduction of monogamy has been only gradually accomplished by the Manifestations of God. Jesus, for example, did not prohibit polygamy, but abolished divorce except in the case of fornication; Muhammad limited the number of wives to four, but making plurality of wives contingent on justice, and reintroducing permission for divorce; Bahá'u'lláh, Who was revealing His Teachings in the milieu of a Muslim society, introduced the question of monogamy gradually in accordance with the principles of wisdom and the progressive unfoldment of His purpose. The fact that He left His followers with an infallible Interpreter of His Writings enabled Him to outwardly permit two wives in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas but uphold a condition that enabled 'Abdu'l-Bahá to elucidate later that the intention of the law was to enforce monogamy.
On page 39 of A Synopsis and Codification of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas it is stated that "Plurality of wives is forbidden." The note explaining this appears on page 59 and states:
The text of the Aqdas upholds monogamy, but as it appears also to permit bigamy, the Guardian was asked for a clarification, and in reply his secretary wrote on his behalf: "Regarding Bahá'í marriage; in the light of the Master's Tablet interpreting the provision in the Aqdas on the subject of the plurality of wives, it becomes evident that monogamy alone is permissible, since, as 'Abdu'l-Bahá states, bigamy is conditioned upon justice, and as justice is impossible, it follows that bigamy is not permissible, and monogamy alone should be practised." The House of Justice assures you that it will pray in the Holy Shrines for your guidance as you consider the many important decisions which face you at this stage in your life.
Sincerely,
For Department of the Secretariat
