Reason Islam allows 4 wives is many fold:
1) So that the man does not stray
2) So that divorced/widowed women are looked after.
3) So that children are not born out of wedlock
4) To prevent STD's that have only very recently been identified by Science.
and many more.
Have a read of this:
Why is Polygamy allowed in Islam
Yes, but it seems like keeping a mistress is more of an interest then giving her rights!
Not many get a 2nd wife who is EITHER a widow OR divorcees...They usually get 18 year old 2nd wives!
