Polygamy may sound ridiculous to most of us but in some religions, there are few laws that allow them to have more than one spouse. Though polygamy is a very common and legal practice followed by people of different religions such as Muslims, Balinese, and the Papuans. But, a man could have more than one marriage only if his first wife allows him to do so. Though their holy book Quran allows them to have up to four wives what this Indonesian man did to marry his two girlfriends is something uncommon.
