How can a person be viewed as normal in one community and abnormal in another?

It all depends on the society around the place/community. In some cultures and religion (Islam as example), to have more than one wife is accepted (the rule is that You have to have the economy to have more than one wife, and the maximum is 4, but you can read more about that another time). While in western countries, having more than 1 wife is "abnormal". It can also be like the hijab. For the Islamic countries, it is seen as 'normal' to wear it, while in some other countries it is "abnormal".

Why you feel jealous that your sister is more beautiful than your wife?

You are a shallow person and find women that are prettier than your wife (even your sister) to be far more attractive. You feel cheated that your wife is not more attractive than your sister and this is simply immature. What you have not done is look into the soul of your wife to see what a loving; kind and loyal person she really is. Looks fade very quickly, so a woman better have a good personality.

If adultery was against the laws of God why did people in the Bible have more than one wife?

From an Islamic perspective, there is a difference between adultery and having more than one wife. Adultery is having an illicit relationship with a person married to someone else whereas having more than one wife is polygamy. Polygamy is not against the laws of God. In the Bible there are many instances of polygamy. Prophet Abraham (may peace be upon him) had two wives. The Koran says that a man can marry up to four women but if he feels that he cannot deal justly with them all (which you mostly can't), it commands you to marry only one.
