Under Islamic marital jurisprudence, Muslim men are allowed to practice polygyny, that is, they can have more than one wife at the same time, up to a total of four. Polyandry, the practice of a woman having more than one husband, by contrast, is not permitted.

There are plausible explanations for the non-practice of polyandry by authors, scholars and publications.

Charity begins at home. Start the practice in your own house and let us know how it turns out.
Why Polyandry is not allowed for women in Islam?

The Muslim men that I have come to know have only one wife and they treat them with utmost respect and dignity. Cobra check for yourself and you will see that Muslim men are mostly monogamous.
I did a research on polygamy and found the excerpts that I posted from Wikipedia. It stated that men are allowed to have more than one wives, but women are prohibited from doing the same. My heading end with a question mark. Some responses seems to question my personal life rather than answer the frigging question. I have always said in the past, if you don't know the answer, retrain from making yourself an ass.
I have come to believe that the holy scriptures of Islam was written by men to suppress women. This cannot be the work of Allah. Muslims always find it difficult to answer questions from their own scriptures.
One have to understand why Muslim men were allowed four wives in that era,currently it should be forbidden.
Kaz,may diasagree.

Currently forbidden? Do your research carefully and come back. My question still remain why women were prohibited from doing the same as men.

Perhaps, demand and supply. Today we have man to man tingy as if there is a shortage of women and likewise homan to homan tingy doing the scissors. Go figure.
In the ancient time, specific to Muslims, there were many women who lost their husbands because of the wars and battles.
Hence, one of the measures practiced is that men were having the single women as wives to provide them a home and a place to be comfortable.
However, as time progresses and indeed population increased, the practice is one man, one woman.
One of the examples that exist in the US-of_A, and has been transferred to Canada especially in British Columbia; is that a break-away group of Mormons sect in a few particular locations do have numerous wives.
However though slowly, the law and enforcement efforts are catching up with these situations.
DG,
We all know that. Cobra is trying to stir up trouble. He is Chul, Chul.
Hindus also practiced polygamy in the past. After is was abolished by law, it remains legal in the state of Goa. Polygamy is practice in more than one religion. Thanks for your input, DG.

Actually, I don't disagree. In fact, the passage goes like this;
If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one
