polygamy was practiced in old testament times but would any modern society accept it?

The Jews still technically allow polygamy as well. Though they traditionally banned it in the 11th century and regard it as there for emergencies.

There is an Orthodox Jewish guy in California who recently refused to divorce his wife in the traditional way. So as far as the temple goes he's still married and his wife cannot remarry. But he found 100 rabbis to sign off on his next marriage. Technically he's got two wives now and his first wife can't move on. The community is trying to shame him into granting her a divorce.
