A Muslim man is allowed to have four wives at a time in the religion of Islam, condition being that he does so with eternal consent of his wife because the wife has a right on her husband. Hence it does not matter where the wife is from. It may even be US.

If the question is asking about US law, then the answer is clear: No. Polygyny (being married to more than one woman) is illegal in all fifty states, including Utah, where it is still more prevalent than other states. (In those cases, the wives are common-law married as opposed to legally married.) When polygynous families come to the United States, they are required to choose which marriage trumps the others and will remain the only legal marriage. Religion is not an acceptable excuse for noncompliance.

It depends on who you direct the question to.

According to Islam, it is permissible if she freely consents to such a relationship.

According to the US government, every state in the United States has ruled bigamy (marriage of one man to two women) to be per-se illegal. (This means that even if you did not know that the man was married to someone else when you married him, you can still be subject to negative legal impact.) He will have to divorce his other wife in a legal forum in either the country of the marriage or in the US.

No. While it is permissible for a Muslim to have two wives according to Islamic Law, this is illegal according to the laws of all 50 US States. As a result, the second marriage, if it is performed in any US State will be null. Any Muslim immigrating to the United States from a foreign country that already has two wives will be required to divorce one in order to immigrate.

Why do Muslim are allowed to practice polygamy?

The reason some Muslims practice polygamy is because many women who are poor, and without husband need the protection and support. Some Muslim men who own businesses who can afford to support a second wife or third do have multiple wives. In the ancient Islamic times when there was war and many women were left without husbands the men use to bring the women and marry them. Now, in days it is very hard in these economic times to have a second wife, but if the Muslim man can afford to have a second wife he can marry her with asking of the first wife. The Muslim man has to pay the maintence of all wives rent, electric, buy her a car and also all expense's are met, if he cannot meet this then the man cannot marry the second wife.


Why may one wife be not enough for a Muslim man?

Having more than wife is called polygamy. Polygamy was very much spread before with unlimited number of wives. Islam religion, per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad, limited number of wives to a husband by four. However, there are conditions for a a Muslim man to have more than wife, mainlyHe should have approval of his former wife (or wives) before marrying another wife.He should treat them equally in housing, spending, sexual affairs, and all other aspects of life.Usually, a Muslim man may seek for a second wife in case his former wife is suffering from a life illness that prevents her from practicing sex with her husband, or not capable of delivering a baby. He may marry a second wife who is divorced or who is widow and is in need of a man to take care of her and her children.However, it is not a rule for a Muslim man to have more than wife. The overwhelming majority of Muslim men are married to only one wife. It is an exception to have a second wife.
