What other countries are practicing polygamy now?

"Polygamy" means that a man can marry two or more women at the same time. Now this system is mainly concentrated in relatively backward areas, such as Arab countries, African countries and West Asia.

Polygamy was practiced in ancient China until the first year of the Republic of China. However, it was only abolished in name. In fact, polygamy still exists among the people. It was not until the founding of New China that the central government promulgated the first marriage law at 1950. From the legal level, polygamy was abolished and continues to this day.

However, there is a country that has been practicing polygamy since19th century, and it still does. This country is Paraguay, which is located in South America. Many people know this country because their football team is better. In fact, Paraguay was monogamous at first, but later, due to a "make it or die" war, Paraguay's male population was reduced to only 30,000, and the sex ratio of the population was seriously unbalanced. In order to balance and multiply the population, it was forced to practice polygamy.

Polygamy still exists in Arab countries, African countries and West Asia. Islamic law is the most popular, which allows polygamy in the Islamic world and allows men to marry up to four wives. This law still exists today. This kind of thing is common in countries like Iran and Iraq. Polygamy has more advantages than disadvantages in wartime, but it has relatively damaged women's rights and interests in relatively peaceful times. Now pay attention to equality between men and women, polygamy is often unequal.
