The exact number of Muslim men with more than one wife is difficult to determine due to varying cultural practices, legal regulations, and personal choices across different countries and communities. 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. Overall, estimates suggest that a minority of Muslim men engage in polygamy.

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.
