It is limited to four wives at same time. It was unlimited in other religions and faiths before Islam religion per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, this allowance in Islam religion is subject to conditions that makes this license allowed to be practiced in very limited conditions. The most important condition is that one should treat his wives equally and with no minor discrimination which is extremely difficult for a man to maintain and satisfy this condition. However this right may be exercised during times of war because of the shortage of men and to protect women from satisfying their sexual and financial needs through illegal sexual relationships. It may legitimate for one to marry the widow of his brother, if acceptable to both partners; to take care of her and her children. Also, it may legitimate for one to marry another woman if his former wife is lifetime ill or can't fulfill marriage sexual and birth obligations. In all cases, former wife (or wives) should agree with the husband to marry a further woman otherwise they have the right to seek divorce.

Can Muslims kill their wives?

Of course NOT ! in Islam, killing any human; illegally; is regarding as killing the whole of mankind. Even in war, it is nlt allowed to kill any woman, or child, or old people. So, I wonder of the one who asking this question. What he/she expects. Does she/he expects that Muslims are so wild to kill their wives. Why he/she doesn't ask if Christians, Hindus, Buddhists or Jews can kill their wives!!!!!
