A:About the same number of boys and girls are born, so for each man who has two wives, another man must remain unmarried. It would therefore be impossible for every Muslim to have more than one wife. Even in countries where polygamy is legal, most Muslims choose to have only one wife.

It is practically exceptional for a Muslim man to marry more than one wife although he is entitled to marry up to four wives at a time.

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.

What are the legal issues during a divorce in a Muslim marriage when one party is a non-Muslim and the other is a Muslim?

A Muslim is not allowed to marry a non-Muslim so there should be no legal issues during a divorce because there is no marriage to begin with. a nonMuslim wife has all the rights of a Muslim wife after divorce, except she can not have the children, she can see them whenever she wishes, but not have them. supposing that this wife is a Jew or Christian, as it is known. Legal issues are eitherwise the same for a Muslim wife.
