It's still very rare even in Islamic countries. Look at this map.

It's basically just Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and sub-Saharan west African countries that have >1% rate of polygamy and only the African countries that have more than 5%. Not exactly the most stable countries.
Also: Just because you are married, and your wife gives birth to a child does not necessarily mean that it's your child :) Nowadays, with contraception and paternity tests available, the number of guys unknowingly raising another man's child is around 2-3%, but it was much higher in the past.
