Countries under shariah (Islamic) law permit a second marriage under special circumstances, such as an illness of the first wife or her inability to bear children. In this case, with the first wife's consent, a man may marry again. This is polygyny, a subset of polygamous marriages. Many other countries recognise polygamy for cultural, religious or historical reasons.
