The reason some Muslims practice polygamy is because many women who are poor, and without husband need the protection and support. Some Muslim men who own businesses who can afford to support a second wife or third do have multiple wives. In the ancient Islamic times when there was war and many women were left without husbands the men use to bring the women and marry them. Now, in days it is very hard in these economic times to have a second wife, but if the Muslim man can afford to have a second wife he can marry her with asking of the first wife. The Muslim man has to pay the maintence of all wives rent, electric, buy her a car and also all expense's are met, if he cannot meet this then the man cannot marry the second wife.
Yes, some Muslims practice polygamy as it is allowed in Islam under certain conditions. It is not a requirement, but a choice for those who can fulfill the responsibilities and treat all wives equally.
In the US, polygamy was never a standard practice. Even Utah wasn't allowed to be a state until they stopped it. In general, polygamy for Christians died out in a couple centuries after Christ. He preached that one man should cleave to one woman, and love became more important in marriage than community ties. Polygamy continues for other groups. It is not compatible with customs of free democratic countries, however and is not allowed anymore.
no where in the US is it legal to practice polygamy
There are a number of Muslim countries where a man is allowed to take as many as four wives. Also, in some African countries, polygamy is still practiced. And although Mormonism has outlawed polygamy, there are still some fundamentalist Mormons who broke away from the LDS church so that they could continue to practice plural marriage.

In Malaysia, Islamic law permits Muslim men to have up to four wives, provided they can treat them equally and fulfill their responsibilities. This practice, known as polygamy, is not universally accepted and varies among individuals and communities. Many Malaysian men choose to have only one wife, and the majority of women prefer monogamous marriages. Non-Muslims in Malaysia are generally not allowed to practice polygamy under civil law.
Polygamy was legal for the Ancient Egyptians. Although polygamy was legal it was generally only practiced by the wealthy the prospect of paying maintenance to several women must have reduced the practice.
Polygamy is practiced by many different groups worldwide. It is a common cultural practice in many parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Many Muslims and some Christians practice polygamy as a part of their religion. Polygamy is illegal in the US and most western countries, but many still practice it in secret.
