Paraguay may go to jail for not marrying multiple wives? What other polygamous countries are there in the world?

You read that right, back in the day, Paraguay could go to jail for not marrying multiple wives. At that time, the war-torn Paraguay, the number of men plummeted, the male-female ratio is seriously disproportionate, and the situation of too many monks, too little porridge, social problems are frequent. The Paraguayan government, in order to maintain social stability, issued a new marriage policy, ordering every marriageable man to marry three wives, and not to abandon them, not allowed to divorce, or be imprisoned. Nowadays, Paraguay doesn't require a man to marry three wives, but it doesn't require monogamy either. Besides Paraguay, what other countries in the world are polygamous?

Most polygamous countries are concentrated in West Asia and Africa, and most of these countries practice Islam, such as Iran, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, India, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Somalia and other countries. In Iran, a man can marry four wives, provided you can afford to keep them. The law requires that husbands treat all four wives equally. In Tajikistan, men are already in extreme scarcity. A severe gender imbalance has created very widespread polygamy in a country where polygamy was originally banned.

In Afghanistan, polygamy is a sign of wealth and a privilege for the rich, but not for the poor, who are dying to marry more than one wife! Senegal is a relatively democratic country, but it is a stubborn enforcer of polygamy,which they consider to be an "ancient and fine tradition" that cannot be banned.

In some men's minds, polygamy is a joy on earth, but multiple wives are not so good. Think about it, all the women live under the same roof, two days a small noise, three days a big noise, annoying, so each woman needs their own room or house. Furthermore, if several women have children at the same time, don't you, the father, want to take care of the children? Huge economic pressure and life pressure, think of the scalp is numb! Of course, if you have a lot of money to spend, it's a lot easier!
