No, polygamy is illegal in the UK. Muslims must obey the law of the land unless it conflicts with their obligations, and marrying more than one wife is not an obligation in Islam.

In theory. But I don't see how it's any of anybody's government's business how many wives a man has, but that's another story entirely..

He can still marry according to Islamic Law in theory.

Polygamy is permitted in Islam under certain conditions, but its prevalence varies widely. In some regions, particularly in parts of Africa and the Middle East, polygamous marriages are more common, while in many Muslim-majority countries, legal restrictions or societal norms discourage the practice.

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.


Can Islamic man have only one wife?

A:A Muslim man can have no more than one wife in Western countries that ban bigamy, as secular laws override religious customs and sharia law. As a practical necessity, most Muslim men can not have more than one wife, since the natural ratio of men to women is approximately one to one. Each man who has four wives effectively means that three other men must live celibate lives or adopt other means of satisfying their natural sex drive, possibly including rape, adultery and homosexuality.

This is not the case for the man.
