I know not of one Muslim man who has more than one wife. It is permissible yes, but is not really necessary in this time. It was really for times when men where killed in battles and leaving the women in the villages without husbands. It is better for a Muslim woman to be the second wife to a Muslim man than consider marrying a non Muslim.
And the first wife would have to agree to a second wife and there would have to be a good reason for it. There can be no second wife if the first objects simple as that. There are plenty of wonderful Muslim men to go round. I dont know of one Muslim man who has 2 or more wives.

A Muslim man may have four wives. However, he has to get permission from his wife in order to marry again. If his wife says no, then there is nothing he can do about it.

You can have up to 4 wives but you have to be able to equally provide for each of them. Most men today cannot do that and that is why they only take one wife. Also, like in the USA the gov't restricts you to one wife, except if you are Mormon and in Nevada.

That depends upon where you live. The quran says you can have 4, but it isn't encouraged. Nevertheless, you can still have only 1 if the country you live in only allows 1. Even most Muslim countries only allow 1 wife. (Thank god!!)

A man can marry up to 4 women; this doesn't mean that it is encouraged. If a man does plan on marrying more than one woman, then he has to make sure that all of them are treated equally.

I think that this explains jihad. They are allowed "only" 4 wives at a time on earth, but if they die in jihad they get 72 virgins. You do the math.
