#3 Anything that causes an expectation for them to recognize women and provide them with any sort of gift is going to be resisted by the culture police which is basically what the religious police are.

Besides, if you have 4 wives, do you give them each the same thing? Do you give them each something different? What happens when they begin to compare and decide some gifts are better than others? It could be a drama generator.

#4 You give them each exactly the same, crosspatch, or there will be no end to the quarrels. In that brief period I worked for the high end jewelry store, a gentleman came in to order Christmas presents. Four watches, to be precise, one each for wife, daughters, and mistress. The one for the mistress was billed to his office instead of his home, but that was the only difference. Even the engraving on the back, although allowance had to be made for the various names.

#5 some motorized post-hole auger/diggers require 2 people on the handles. By giving one to four wives, you're cutting the work in half for each. A true Islamic Gentleman
