A lot of countries that do have laws against polygamy only have laws against legally claiming more than one wife but cohabiting with more than one woman is just fine, which is hypocritical. So since she wont legally be a wife just islamically it is perfectly legal. Really the law enforcement that go after religious people who practice polygamy like mormons and muslims, are just being religiously intolerant.
No. If you have a wife and you have a relationship outside of marriage it is called an Affair and you're legally penalized. The law stipulates one wife, one marriage and that's it. If people can't bear to follow these laws, simply get out of the country and go live elsewhere.

Also please do not compare Mormons with Muslims, do you know what Mormons do?
I have nothing against Polygamy, but if someone wants to practice it go somewhere else where the structure of the law allows for there to be PROTECTION for women in a Polygamous marriage. In the West, considering that it is ILLEGAL for there to be more than one wife, there is a higher chance for women in these kind of marriages to be in situations of abuse and neglect, because the system is NOT built for this.
