Jen- muta'a marriage- temporary marriage- is practiced only by Shi'i, and not Sunni, the majority of Muslims. It is sometimes a way around the polygamy laws in the US, when Shi'i Muslims want more than one wife, and so will have a muta'a marriage for one, but not a civil marriage. Some muta'a marriages last for life; most do not.

You mention a limit of four wives. Does this include "pleasure marriages?" I believe that is what it is called. A friend from a Muslim country was explaining to me that sometimes men will marry women, have sex with her, and then there is something of an annulment shortly thereafter.

There's also some evidence out there that there that polyandry existed on the Peninsula before Mohammed (bpuh), and therefore Mohammed made things worse for women.
