Polygamy is having more than one wife. Muslim man can only have to a maximum of 4 wives only.

For a Muslim man to have polygamy, they must be capable to support the wife financially and sexually. They also have to be equal to each of the wives, giving them the same amount of care and affection.

If they are not able to do this, they are not allowed to perform polygamy.

If you wish to know more, I suggest you consult with an Imam of a mosque nearby your area or any knowledgeable Muslim that you know.

Men can marry 4 women

women can marry 1 man.

the man has to have the strength for 4 wives (not money STRENGTH).

Quran does say 1 (wife) is better for you, it also says a lot of men don't even have the strength for 1.

the reason a woman cant have more than one husband is because, if she were to get pregnant you wouldn't know who the father would be, and men will fight over the woman, and think about it, does any woman want two husbands.

there are some women that don't mind sharing her husband. the explanation of this will take to explain
