Polygamy is defined as a marriage in which one spouse (man or woman) has several other spouses. The most common form of polygamy is when a man has more than one wife (Al-Krenawi, 2012).

No it is never a sin. Jesus in his teaching never condemned polygamy but divorce. He whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. And Paul in the Bible said leaders of the Church should be husband’s of One wife so get it clear.
