Maximum Four wives at a time is allowed. A man is allowed to marry more then one if he can do act justly towards wives: Where one wife do not get preferantial treatment in all other aspect except feelings. The husband is allowed have stronger feeling for one wife more then the other but he can't buy gift for one wife and not buy for the other wife. It is not permissible for man to marry more than one if he can not act justly towards his wives as explained earlier.
