I thought polygamy was accepted practice in the Muslim countries. It may be limited to the elite, I don't really know. I thought they were allowed up to four wives.

Yep, four:

en.wikipedia.org

<In the modern Islamic world, polygamy is mainly found in traditionalist Arab cultures, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for instance, whereas in secular Arab states like Lebanon and non-Arab Muslim countries, Turkey and Malaysia for example, it is banned or rare, respectively.>
