I think this is good news for the ladies.

Saudi Arabia: Having more than one wife is not good for your
health, scientists have found.

Men with more than one wife, who practise what is known as
polygamy , suffer a four-fold increase of heart disease, according
to medical researchers.

Polygamy is practised in many countries in Africa, the Middle
East, central and south-east Asia with wives often living in
separate households from their husbands.

The findings were made by cardiologist Dr Amin Daoulah of the
King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research centre in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia, where polygamy is legal.

Dr Daoulah said: “There is evidence that married people have
better overall health and longevity but until now no study has
assessed the effect of polygamy on cardiovascular health.”

He studied the health records of 687 married men and found
that those with more than one wife had a higher rate of
coronary heart disease (CAD) than monogamous men.

The researchers found a significant association between the
number of wives and the presence of CAD and disease of the
main arteries.

Men who practised polygamy had a 4.6-fold increased risk of
CAD, a 3.5-fold increased risk of disease in the left main artery
and a 2.6-fold elevated risk of multi-vessel disease.

Dr Daoulah said: “We found an association between an
increasing number of wives and the severity and number of
coronary blockages.

“This could be because the need to provide and maintain
separate households multiplies the financial burden and
emotional expense.

“Each household must be treated fairly and equally, and it
seems likely that the stress of doing that for several spouses and
possibly several families of children is considerable.”

I am not for polygamy but don't knock those who are . I don't understand how a man can deal with multiple women on a serious level and not feel some kind of way. I understand that religion of some mind and other customs are the purpose of polygamy but why do you need multiple wives when you can get a wife that is a jack of all trades?
