"But as I also pointed out, not for long - Islam also cleared these women for marriage to Muslim men as long as they reimbursed their disbelieving husbands for whatever they paid their wives as dowry. Much like returning the item to the store. Since Islam encourages marriage, I'm sure these ladies would have gotten fixed up as soon as possible (if their dowries were, you know, affordable) and then they would have proper guardians."

Hmmmm....I'm going to ignore the insult and simply address your misunderstanding.

Marriage in Islam should be based on love and harmony. But it is also an agreement, a promise, and similar to a contract. The dowry is given by the husband to the wife upon marriage as a security if divorce should result. In these cases, the wives willingly left their pagan husbands because they simply wanted to be Muslim. Prophet Muhammad felt it was only fair to return the dowry to the ex husbands and from henceforth those women who no longer had guardians would be financially cared for by the islamic state or new, Muslim husbands.

I'm sure he did. I'm sure the ladies loved it, because to leave their Muslim husbands, they would have had to repay the dowry themselves.

No, not as security "if divorce should result".  As security if a husband happens to divorce her.  [/quote]
