A:A Muslim man can have no more than one wife in Western countries that ban bigamy, as secular laws override religious customs and sharia law.

As a practical necessity, most Muslim men can not have more than one wife, since the natural ratio of men to women is approximately one to one. Each man who has four wives effectively means that three other men must live celibate lives or adopt other means of satisfying their natural sex drive, possibly including rape, adultery and homosexuality.
