Joseph, the Mechaber only permits polygamy where the current wife agrees (it is a clause in the ketuba). In fact, true Sepharadim (= descendants of gerush Sepharad) have not practiced it. Some of the Eidot HaMizrach, in particular Yemenites, did, but not all. The Ben Ish Hai, for example, only had one wife, as did his rebbe Rav Abdullah Somekh.
