web link: bahai-library.com/tags/Bahaullah,_Wives_of
related tags: Bahá'u'lláh, Family of; Polygamy
notes: "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the "Aqdas" (His book of laws) was revealed, He was only acting according to the laws of Islám, which had not yet been superseded.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." – From a letter dated 11 February 1944, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, cited in a letter dated 23 October 1995 by the Universal House of Justice
