None of the Abrahamic faiths forbid it.
It is illegal in the states. Many countries in Western Asia and Africa allow it.
It is not a sin in Christianity as some claim.

I don't like the idea of polygyny. It can lead to power imbalances in a relationship and confusion amoung the children. Also if it is always the man that has extra wives, this can lead to some single young men not finding a wife, because some rich men took most of the supply of women for themselves. In a lot of societies the women, have little power and could be taken advantage of. I see no reason to have more than one wife, based on the fact that even a relationship with one wife, is hard to make work well. I think you are moving backward morally, when you desert one on one intimate relationships.

Funny.... you look like you'd sooner marry men.
If you need a belief system that allows you.... make one up.
As for countries where it is legal.... not sure. Never really cared to find out. It isn't as though marriage really means anything anyway.... besides that one cannot keep a relationship together without legal help (and even then things slip up).

No, in the old testement, to further his kingdom and achieve a blood line for Jesus and a people.
Once he achieved this, he changed the laws.
Now it is moraly wrong, against God, to have more than one wife.
I think some african countries will allow you to.
Marriage is defined as between one man and one woman.
Some cults will allow you to.
If I were you I would look into this a little more before you try to do it, because there could be consequences, not from me, but from someone more important.

Saudi Arabia. And the big bonus is that they are staunch allies of the United States, so it will be just like living in Iowa (except hotter).

Mormons are "publicly" opposed to polygamy, but they look the other way. Utah it is.
And yes, you're a pig. Can your wives marry more than one man? Let's make it equal here, eh?

Islam...seriously... im not trying to poke fun at it, but islam seems to allow polygamy. In malaysia(a muslim country), up to 4 wives can be taken.

You may do so in any area in which Sharia is the law, such as Saudi Arabia.
