minus-squareandros_rex@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoYeah, traditionally a Muslim man can have up to four wives. Some Shias also have temporary marriages, where you marry a prostitute for as long as you want to enjoy their services. It’s still a thing - Ibn Saud, first Saudi King, had so many wives that Wikipedia doesn’t list them all. The current king has only had up to three at once.
