What is Understanding Polygamy in Islam about?
Islam regulated the existing practice of polygamy in several cultures by limiting the number of wives to four and requiring equal treatment. The Quran permits polygamy but does not require it, and women can stipulate monogamy in marriage contracts. While some prophets in Judaism and Christianity had multiple wives, actual polygamous marriages are rare in many Muslim societies today, with estimates of only 2% of married men practicing it.
