Muslim woman here, and someone who generally doesn't like polygamy, for numerous reasons. I'm going to assume that you are a Muslim family for obvious reasons.

You said that your father favors his newest wife, the youngest one, the most among the others - what do you think about the fact that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stressed (through example, as well as words) that one must be just to all wives, in the case that one marries more than one? The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known to have treated his wives so well, that each one of them thought that they were the most beloved, when in fact, he was simply treating them all the same.

The Quran stresses this as well, frowning upon the idea of having more than one wife, because a human can never be absolutely perfect in the justice and treatment of his wives.

I'm not attacking your father or you, I'm wondering what you thought about the differences between how your dad treats his wives, and how it is generally viewed in Islam.

That's along the lines of what I meant... I wasn't talking about justice in terms of money, place to live, etc, but love and emotional bonding. That is what is stressed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Quran.
