Some Muslims in U.S. Quietly Engage in Polygamy
by Barbara Bradley Hagerty
All Things Considered, May 27, 2008 ยท Although polygamy is illegal in the U.S. and most mosques try to discourage plural marriages, some Muslim men in America have quietly married multiple wives.
No one knows how many Muslims in the U.S. live in polygamous families. But according to academics researching the issue, estimates range from 50,000 to 100,000 people.
You can see some of the women involved in polygamous marriages in the lobby of Sanctuary for Families, a nonprofit women's center in New York City. It bursts with color as a dozen women in bright African dresses and head wraps gather for a weekly noon meeting for West African immigrants. The women come each week to this support group where they discuss hard issues, such as domestic abuse, medical problems, immigration hurdles and polygamy.

It is against the law, so the law should be enforced on the issue.
Morally, I see nothing wrong with it. If all parties involved agreed freely then I think it is okay.
