Is it mandatory for a Muslim man to have more than one wife?

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.
