in Khursheed Ahmad Khanv/s State of U P the Supreme Court has decided in Feb 2015
"What was protected under Article 25 (right to practice and propagate any religion) was the religious faith and not a practice which may run counter to public order, health or morality. Polygamy was not integral part of religion and monogamy was a reform within the power of the State under Article 25," said a bench of Justices T S Thakur and A K Goel.
The bench said that polygamy was not integral to religion and the practice of polygamy did not acquire sanction of religion simply because it was permitted.
It upheld the UP government's decision to sack one of its employees on the ground of misconduct for opting for a second marriage during existence of the first marriage without its prior permission.n this case Khursheed Ahmad Khan, employed as irrigation supervisor, had married Anjum Begum during existence of first marriage with Sabina Begum. Sister of his first wife had filed a complaint before National Human Rights Commission which ordered a police probe in the case.Khan had then approached the Allahabad high court and challenged his removal from service. The HC had dismissed his plea.
now you may decide on second marriage

I am not a govt employee.
As for other responses my query has not been answered yet.instead they were asking reasons why polygamy?there may be many personal reasons which cannot be disclosed.
And here i am not thinking of doing this because i think its integral part of any religion.i know its not integral part of islam.
In a country where multiple mistresses are still legal and widespread why cant someone take responsibility and marry a second girl?
Anyway if anyone can answer my primary query i ll be very happy.
