It's very rare to see this in Muslim communities in the United States or Canada, where polygamy is illegal. But it still occurs in a number of traditional Muslim cultures in Africa, as well as in countries like Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Theoretically, it can't happen without the acceptance of the first wife, but in actuality, the countries that still observe this custom often disenfranchise women; since women have little say in what their husband does, and no recourse if they complain, they may feel that it is their duty to accept his wishes.

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.
