This research also aims to understand the impact of this message on modern Islamic marriage practices. This research method involves historical analysis and literature review. Data was collected through the study of Al-Quran texts, commentaries, Islamic history books, and related research. This study also explores the views of scholars on this theme. The results of the study reveal that the practice of marriage in Islam has undergone significant changes over time. From the early days of Islam which involved profuse polygamy, slowly, Muslim societies began to adopt the practice of monogamy as the norm. Verse 3 in QS Annisa provides ethical guidelines regarding polygamous marriages, emphasizing the importance of fairness in the marriage relationship. This influences the understanding and practice of marriage in modern Islam. This research results in a deeper understanding of the history of marriage in Islam and how the messages in QS Annisa Verse 3 have influenced changes in marriage practices. The main impact is that the message about justice and the protection of women's rights in marriage remains relevant in the context of modern Islamic marriage. The conclusion of this study is that the history of marriage in Islam reflects the evolution from polygamy to monogamy, with an emphasis on justice and protection of women's rights in marriage. The message in QS Annisa Verse 3 continues to guide the practice of marriage in Islam today, emphasizing the importance of ethics and equality in marriage relations.
