In 1961 a law was made saying Polygamy was allowed in Pakistan but only for males with an Islamic faith. Other religions like Hindus was not allowed, because in the Vedic periods the practice of Polygamy was rapidly declining which made it seem taboo, therefore, it was considered immoral. Polygamy is allowed for Hindus but in India, China, and other countries. According to The Prevalence & Determinants of Polygamy Among Men in Pakistan The determinants of polygamy are different like nationality, spouse's age, and schooling, increment the likelihood of kids, especially when a wife is infertile and only gives birth to girls or husband's longing for more kids, male dominated business.

Polygamy is not really that popular in Pakistan only about 4% of males are in polygamy relationships. The number has been decreasing for many years now, because its just not as popular as it once was in Pakistan.
