[percakapan] a wife?

Once Upon the time when we were in the car as I was driving back from Nusaybah's swimming class, my girl Nusaybah who is five years old asked me

Nusaybah:" mama, what is "a wife" mean?"

Me:"Errmmmm... A wife is a woman who is married to a man, for example mama, I am baba's wife" because I am married to baba

Nusaybah:"oooo...so do I have to get married when i grown up?"

Me:"I would think so, what do you think?"

Nusaybah:"I will get married, but what happen if there is no men left?"

Me:* laughing*" what do you mean?"

Nusaybah:" what happen if all the men are married?"

Me:" what make you think like that?"

Nusaybah:"because when I looked around, I saw all the men are married"

Me:"how do you know Nusaybah?"

Nusaybah:"they walk with women or they hold their children hands"

Me: "but look at that man!(there was a man walking on his own), he is not with a woman nor a child"

Nusaybah:"well his wife maybe at home, mama"

Me:"ermm, you're right, but trust me, there are many men not married yet, but you don't want to marry those men, they will be very old by the time you're grown up"

Nusaybah:"so who can I marry mama?"

Me:"anyone at your age or slightly older or a little bit younger... Those uncles will

Be 80 or 90 years old by the time you're twenty"

Nusaybah:" so I can only marry a man like my age mama?, like my friend?"

Me:" yes... Maybe" at this point I am slightly worried with the way i answered her qs.

Nusaybah:" so if a man is already married, can I marry him, mama?"

Ops!.... I truly don't know what to say and how to say it!

I can't say yes (even though is halal to be second third or fourth wife) but I don't want to plant that idea at such a young age 

and I can't say no because that'll teach her something different from what Allah's ﷻ messenger has taught. 

I just say:" I prefer you marry someone whose not married yet and don't worry about it now, it's still a looong way to go, you need to study, learn a lot and memorise Quran and when you're twenty we can talk about it.

Then she didn't respond apart from smiling 

*phew...tough questions but again it made me learning new things*
