Answer 3

He had eleven official wives (Khadija, Sawda, Ayesha, Hafsa, Zeynab, Hind, Zeynab, Juwairiya, Ramla, Safiya and Maymuna). He also had two official concubines (Rayhana and Mariya), whom some people count among the wives, bringing the total to thirteen.

He is said to have married at least nine other women, but they are not counted as "Mothers of the Faithful", so perhaps they were only concubines. One of them, Fatima al-Aliya, came to live in his household, but he divorced her after a very short time. Some say it was because she was too fond of looking at men in the mosque. The other eight all died or were divorced before the consummation, sometimes before Mohammed even met them, so it not surprising that they are not usually counted on the final list.

Answer 4

As in all other religions, no limits on how many times one can marry. The limits are on how many wives one can have. In Islam. It is limited to having 4 wives at one time on condition to deal with them equally and fairly. Because of the difficulty for one to fulfill this condition, he is encouraged not to marry more than one. Other religions, they don't have limits on the number of wives one can marry per religion holy books although limited to one by church and other religious leaders.
