The answer

It is not permissible to ask anyone for their opinion on the origin of polygyny because it is a ruling from Allah. Rulings from Allah must not be met with opinions and whims; rather, one must submit to them and accept them. It is permissible to ask what a person prefers for themselves, whether polygyny or remaining with one wife, provided that this question is not directed to a stranger without need. The desirability or undesirability of polygyny is a matter of scholarly disagreement.
