In today's world its still valid in more than one country. As you will see.
"Far Reaching Implications of Gender Gaps
In most countries across the world, the population is made up of more men than women. Some nations, however, have a population made up of more women. The gender imbalance in these countries can be traced back to war and conflicts. Studies show that this disparity is not desirable. These countries have a high number of well- educated women who earn a high level of income but cannot find partners. Gender disparities in wages also put an economic strain on these countries. Men are more likely to suffer from mental health problems since more pressure is put on them to provide for the family."

Islam cares about humans and their problems, that's why it allowed upto 4 wives at that time to cater for the gender gap. The reason for gender gap was wars, conflicts that would leave women widows and children orphan. And would result in disparity in gender ratio.
However, where the number of male is equivalent to females or number of males exceeds females, polygamy should stop because the reason and need for it becomes redundant. So india or any country with Muslim population can back it's action with recent research on gender ratio.
THis is scientific reasoning, I am asking for the historical reasoning which you suggested in your earlier post when you claimed why the polygamy started in first place. Also support you reasoning with actual scientific link where it says women in some countries could not find partners because they are well educated women and earn high level of income and that is the reason polygamy was suggested.
Do you allow this for women as well? You ok for them having multiple husbands? In case yes, then i will support you move to start a movement in pakistan by signing an online petition for you.Who the fk says that it is not religious but social ?
Damnit if religion allows me that doesn't mean it is social. You can restrict my choice because as a person I have choice. I should be free to choose, if I want more than wife or not. Who are you to discriminate me against that.
-- speaking as a person who oppose this move even if it were in Pakistan, not targeting because it is India
One or two abberations do not make it generic. we are talking about masses.A Hindu guy may have relations with 30 women, even he marries two of them, why always muslims are target of everything.
I know many many Hindus, even some celebrities who have two wives. It is not mentioned in anywhere in Hindu scriptures that polygamy is prohibited. Even some avtars have many many wives(according to Hindu scriptures).
We Hindus unlike Islam, allow changes to our interpretations of our literature according to the time and the need. Yes, polygamy was there in the Hindus earlier during the times of Rajas, maharajas etc. But it was made illegal as per Hindu Marriage Act 1955, passed in 1956. Hence polygamy is no more legal for Hindu faiths. You will find few exceptions here and there (In Goa, it is allowed, so are few tribes , there population in negligible btw to consider it a generic case to label whole hindus), but overall It is not legally allowed.
