Question

Why a Muslim brother is allowed four marriages and what if women married four times? Why the rules are different?

Answer

She can marry four times; after she has been divorced for the first time she can marry the second time. And after she is divorced the second time she can marry for the third time and so forth.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
