Asking this as a Qatari with a polygamous father. My father’s second wife is Swedish and I know it was a tough pill to swallow for her family and friends back home.

    So the answer is, “no”, but isn’t that obvious? That’s not much of an explanation really. While pithy it’s not very useful.

    As others have pointed out, some parts of the West do currently practice polygamy, or have in the past, but the reasons why it’s largely frowned upon aren’t explained in this response.
