Basically a Muslim/Africa map.
Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Jordan are legal only for Muslims
That’s inaccurate. In Egypt, polygamy is illegal for non-Muslims, and illegal for Muslim women as well. You go to jail for entering into a polygamous marriage as a Christian for instance. So it should be green not blue
Why is this erroneous map being recycled again? For starters, in South Africa, polygamy is legal, provided it is a valid customary marriage as provided for in the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act. It is also legal in several neighbouring countries.
Is legal for everyone or only men?
[Edit] guys, calm the fuck down. It’s just a simple question. No need to wage religious war here.
Not just that a 14 or 15 yr old muslim girl can be married off under muslim personal laws in india but fir any other religion, it’s a criminal act
They also have different laws regarding inheritance, divorce and child support
When the Indian govt brought a law to Ban triple talaq( you can just saw the word 3 times to divorce your wife) it was met with fierce opposition
Tunisia proving once again that it’s the best country in Africa
Polygamy is legal in Ivory Coast, Wikipedia is always hit or miss when it comes to Africa.
What does “Polygamy illegal but practice is not criminalised” mean? How it is measured if it is not in legal documents? Is cohabitation illegal? In US, unauthorised cohabitated partners or having multiple romantic partners is not a crime. I think it is similar everywhere.
Arab women should be able to marry multiple men too. Or it should be illegal for all
I want to understand the difference between black and red countries… will you really go to jail in Europe when the authorities find out that you live with two other people?
Polygamy is not criminalized in Utah
What is the legal impetus for criminalizing polygamy?
No surprise, the Qur’an basically relegates women to the status of cattle. Deeply disturbing.
Also disturbing that people hate when you point the truth out. Tolerance requires not tolerating the intolerant.
One’s enough!
Reminds me of the old joke. What’s the punishment for bigamy?
Two wives
How can something be illegal but not criminalised?

The map is not accurate for the UAE, it’s [only legal for Muslim men](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/social-affairs/marriages/marriage-as-per-the-sharia-law).
I suspect this is the case in many other blue countries.
Indian Ocean New Zealand is real?
In Brazil that data is wrong , because the majority of young people is polygamic and never happens
Map is wrong, Singapore allows polygamy for Muslims
NZ moving when we are not looking
Inaccurate, you can only get married with one person in western countries, but in practice you can have multiple wives and it’s not criminalized. There just won’t be any official record, but adultery is not illegal
In the US it’s illegal to have a licensed marriage to more than one person. They can’t stop you from being married to more than one person “in the eyes of god”
It’s legal but doesn’t mean that it is practiced
considered illegal but rare enforced in the USA. This is I think the result of faith injecting its values into the legal system. Today the system litteraly cant handle anything that isn’t one on one. But mostly the mess is needed for insurance, property ownership and children who are also treated as property.
And people still say India is persecuting the muslims. There are laws and benefits specially given to the Muslim minority. There are no such things in a Muslim majority country. The muslims in India are treated much better than muslims in many islamic republics or kingdoms or military regimes like Pakistan, Egypt etc..
This is a very interesting map. At the same time, it’s both political and reveals how outdated many Western legal and administrative systems still are.
A very simple example:
In Russia, you cannot register a new marriage if you are already legally married. The system simply won’t allow it.
If you travel to another country where polygamy is legal and marry again, that second marriage is not recognized in Russia. In the Russian registry, you still have only one legal marriage.
I checked Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic states. They have essentially the same post-Soviet legal system: no criminal offense for bigamy, and a second marriage simply cannot be registered.
Yet the map singles out Russia differently while grouping those countries elsewhere. As usual, politics comes first.
So why is this still a criminal offense in many Western countries when modern civil registries already make it impossible to register multiple legal marriages?
Why do they still rely on outdated legal mechanisms instead of simply maintaining accurate national marriage registries? Rather than fixing the system, they threaten people with up to seven years in prison for something the registry itself should already prevent.
