Islam is a religion that gives divine rules of living your life. There are many misconceptions regarding the principles and teachings of Islam and most of the people have taken its teachings in the wrong sense.

In Islam marrying 4 times is not for pleasure rather in the old times when the caliphs and other believers of Islam used to go for jihad, many used to get Shaheed and their wives and children became widow and orphan therefore it was said that those people who can afford should make these widows there wives and the orphans their children. So basically this was the concept.

Today, this concept has taken a different shape. Today people don't marry widows but rather marry women of age less than them. The message given by the religion is very logical and requires understanding with logic and clear mind.

The only problem with this explanation is that the arab language leaves a lot to be desired in terms of clarity, because the meanings of the words shift with each generation to something a little bit different. Almost no other religion has this problem- the bible, despite translations, is derived from consecutive works of three dead languages. Hinduism and buddhism both derive (or have parts that derive) from at least one dead language, etc.

It is forbidden in Islam to marry more than four women yes, but people do it because they are not of full knowledge of the rules and concepts of the Islamic religion. They ruin the Islamic reputation without knowing it, but there are still people that follow gods orders and prophet Mohammad's(PBUH) followings.
