Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A woman’s dislike of plural marriage, is this not a dislike of what Allah has revealed?
Answer:
No, if she disliked the verse containing[An-Nisa 4:3], that would be apostasy. But she dislikes plural marriage; she sees it as a personal matter, not a religious one. She sees it as a personal issue, and other women see it as such too. This does not reach the level of apostasy. But if she said, “I dislike the Qur’an that permits plural marriage,” or “I dislike the Messenger who permits plural marriage,” that is apostasy without a doubt. Yes.
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A woman’s dislike of plural marriage, is this not a dislike of what Allah has revealed?

marry those that please you of [other] women
فَانكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ
