Anthropologically speaking.. thre are many cultures that practice polygamy..
In islam however it is NOT permitted.. it IS permitted IF the relationship is not working out and after a divorce a woman can marry whomever she likes..
AT the same time.. many sects of Islam beleive men can't mary more than a single woman unless certain criteria is met.. i.e.. the couple cannot have kids?? the second wife can't look after herself?? if she is having to sell herself to live, to take care of her children?? in cases like this it is actually a mans duty to amrry and make an honest women of that lady??
again,, many folks beleive that even after the criteria is met??? the first wife has to be asked and HAD to agree to it???
Islam isn't as bad as many make it out to be.. it is the very uneducated and those who don't understandf the religion who cherry pick words and sentences out of context and abuse/circumnavigate through the rules for their own gain and own selfish agendas.
