[quote]>>Your contradictions are very amusing. If one looks at a woman, then he is guilty. If he does not look at her before proposing, then he is naive.

One has to do with seeking a wife and it happens in an 'agreed upon setting', the other gazing has to do with satisfying his lust.

>>The man has no lust in his heart and feels pity for the way the girl is in, old and dirty clothes full of pathces, bare feet, dust all over, hungry and  weak. He decides to marry her for the sake of Allah only.

>>Your proposition requires him to seek permission from first wife which might not be possible due to lack of communication. This prevents him from doing a noble deed and possibly saving another human being from a life of a destitute or possibly starvation and disease. She might end up living like a beggar or go into prostituition to support herself. This is true today for many Afghan war widows and orphans in Pakistan.

>>And if you think, this is a very unlikely event, then think again. Have you read about the men who left their homes for jihaad in Chechya and Afghanistan? I recommend you read about them, this is how they live in jihaad fee sabeel-lil-lah.

First, going to Chechnya, Afghanistan for Jihad is a bit iffy. But I won't get into that.

Second, no man has a right to make unilateral decisions as if he were above reproach. His primary responsibility lies with taking care of his family as opposed to creating a new home, at the expense of the first.  Considering the anticipation that he might get killed. What madness?

And I will repeat, Shariah does not ask of permission, so we can introduce such laws.
