Then why do you tell them how to dress? Why do you make them wear hijabs and hide their face?
Because God almighty, the Creator of the electron and the super-nova, who knows everything, knows what sort of dress is suitable for the women He created. And God almighty orders women to wear hijab.

Why is it in Afghanistan womens rights were severely restricted under the Teliban? The more conservative the Muslim belief the greater the cruelty shown women.
Proof? Or do you naively follow all what the mass media tells you?

Why is it that Muslim women in Iraq are worried about their rights being taken away from them under shari'a? What is it about your religion that deny's women their rights.
The women of the great Iraq are worried about their dignity being destroyed in the AbuGhrib (and other) prison. They are worried about their parents, children, brothers being massacred by the evil american and british soldiers. The women of the great Iraq struggle to end the darkness of the occupation in order to live under the lights of the Shariaa, God willing.

1. If a man has more than one wife, the parents of the children born of such marriages can easily be identified. The father as well as the mother can easily be identified. In case of a woman marrying more than one husband, only the mother of the children born of such marriages will be identified and not the father. Islam gives tremendous importance to the identification of both parents, mother and father. Psychologists tell us that children who do not know their parents, especially their father undergo severe mental trauma and disturbances. Often they have an unhappy childhood. It is for this reason that the children of prostitutes do not have a healthy childhood. If a child born of such wedlock is admitted in school, and when the mother is asked the name of the father, she would have to give two or more names! I am aware that recent advances in science have made it possible for both the mother and father to be identified with the help of genetic testing. Thus this point which was applicable for the past may not be applicable for the present.
2. Man is more polygamous by nature as compared to a woman.
3. Biologically, it is easier for a man to perform his duties as a husband despite having several wives. A woman, in a similar position, having several husbands, will not find it possible to perform her duties as a wife. A woman undergoes several psychological and behavioral changes due to different phases of the menstrual cycle.
4. A woman who has more than one husband will have several sexual partners at the same time and has a high chance of acquiring venereal or sexually transmitted diseases which can also be transmitted back to her husband even if all of them have no extra-marital sex. This is not the case in a man having more than one wife, and none of them having extra-marital sex.
The above reasons are those that one can easily identify. There are probably many more reasons why Allah, in His Infinite Wisdom, has prohibited polyandry.
And Allah knows best.
