Regarding 4 wives, the purpose of multiple wives in islam is based on the idea to protect women since men are to be the providers and protectors of women. The rule of 4 wives came at a time when there was no limit to having wives so if it was based on lust, then a limitation would have never been placed. Islam understands that there are more women than men in the world, so the idea of one man marrying another woman would never work to begin with, because there would be thousands of women who can't get husbands.

This is a one percent difference. I don't see thousands of women who can't get married because all the guys are taken. Not to mention that the rule is FOUR wives meaning there should logically be 400% the women that there are men, and yet it is only 101%.
