What's exactly the meaning of "limit set " here?
hi.,there
Mohammed was not the man to give an exclusive devotion to any one woman, but there is no doubt that, within the limit set by the polygamy, he was genuinely fond of his wife and benefactress.
"the limit set by the polygamy", what does it mean? especially the "limit set" part.
as i know,Mohammed is the Islam prophet ,and they can marry with four women according to Islam law,and four is the limit.
does "the limit set" here have anything to do with what i said above?
thank you !
