No, polygamy is illegal in the UK. Muslims must obey the law of the land unless it conflicts with their obligations, and marrying more than one wife is not an obligation in Islam.

In theory. But I don't see how it's any of anybody's government's business how many wives a man has, but that's another story entirely..

He can still marry according to Islamic Law in theory.

It depends on the laws of the country the Muslim man is having its citizenship and it depends on the nationality of the wife.

Per Islam teachings, it is allowed for a MUslim man to have upto four wives but subject to conditions; the first of them is the approval of the former wife (or wives). It should be understood that Islam religion limited the number of wives to four as it was before unlimited; per all other God religions.

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.


Can Islamic man have only one wife?

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.


Why only the Muslim men are allowed to marry more than one but why the Muslim women not?

A Muslim (or non Muslim) woman cann't marry more than one for many reasons, among them are:It is against the nature of woman. In all religions, even before Islam, men (including prophets) married unlimited number of wives but never a wife is married to more than one man.It will be confusion when the woman brings a child as for to whom the child will be belonging as father.Woman has the monthly period (Menstruation) and the pregnancy period, this will not allow her to practice sex with more than one man.It is an Islamic honor to woman to have only one manHaving more than one man brings health problems to woman. This is not the case for the man.
