Every society and religious belief wants to see itselfsuperior to others, to be numerous, and to spread to the world. According toJewish belief, God first ordered Adam and Eve, then in the process, Jews’ ancestors (Israelites) like Noah, Abraham and Jacob to reproduce many timesand God selected them among other nations. God has made an agreement with“chosen nation” Israelites and covenanted them some regions as homeland.In Jewishness, having children and reproducing are accepted as an order ofGod. In order to fulfill this order and to preserve the purity of the "chosennation" in Jewishness, almost all kinds of cure such as: getting married withwomen of Israelites, if necessary, polygamy to have a child, divorcing theinfertile women who cannot give birth to a child, marrying brother’s wife tobrother-in-law to leave a heir to the deceased without a child, approachingbirth control prudently, avoiding abortion if there is no serious health problem,are applied. Since the most important objective of the marriage is having achild in Jewishness, it is necessary for a couple to have at least one son andone daughter or two sons to be accepted as a family. In this context, having achild and reproducing is considered a very important religious order (mitsva)in terms of Jewishness. According to Judaism, by force of this order, it isvery important to give birth and to grow, in number for the nation chosen byGod (İsraelites), to sustain its existence in the world, to dominate the worldby increasing its population, and to breed generations living according to theorders of God.
