RÉSUMÉ: Alors que des chercheurs occidentaux avaient autrefois prédit la disparition de la polygamie dans les villes africaines, cette forme de mariage s'est avérée résistante face à une croissance urbaine rapide et face aux changements sociaux. Cet article retrace les forces sociales qui sous-tendent la résilience de la polygamie moderne à Bamako (Mali) où une femme sur quatre se trouve dans un mariage polygame. Sur la base des données issues de recherches ethnographiques et d'enquêtes démographiques dans la ville de Bamako, cette étude met en avant trois catégories analytiques : la culture (y compris la religion musulmane), la démographie, et le droit postcolonial. Elle conclut que la polygamie restera une composante du système matrimonial à Bamako malgré les bouleversement liés à l'urbanisation et à la mondialisation. ABSTRACT: Although a previous generation of Western social scientists predicted polygamy's demise in African cities, this form of marriage has proven resilient in the face of rapid urban growth and sweeping social change. This article traces the various social forces underlying modern polygamy's resilience in Bamako, Mali, where one in four wives is in a polygamous marriage. Mustering data from ethnographic fieldwork and demographic surveys, it highlights three analytical categories and their relationship to marriage patterns: culture (including the Muslim religion), demography, and postcolonial law. It concludes that polygamy will remain a component of the marriage system in Bamako despite the disruptions stemming from urbanization and globalization.

Abstract:
Polygamy is a problem that has not been discussed until now. With people’s understanding and knowledge, this resulth in a narrow understanding of several arguments (The Qur’an and Hadith) regarding polygamy. At Least, there are two views regarding polygamy, namely; first, allowing polygamy under certain conditions; secondly, its prohibits polygamy, because of a fatal disadvantag. This study aims to discuss the hadith about polygamy it is prohibition. This reseach method is qualitative, using the qualitative analysis approach , namelu the author explains from the aspect of polygamy in general in islam and the examines specifically polygamy in thr view of polygamous scholars, polygamy in the perspective of hadith and analysis hadith with takhrijul hadith methoud. The resulth of this reseach include the views general opinion on polygamy, the arguments of the al-Qur’an and Hadith on polygamy, Takhrij Hadith , and the views of the ulama’ on the verses of the al-Qur’an and hadith on polygamy. The conclusion of this study is that vplygamy is something that was present before islam was present. And since Islam came into existence, polygamy has begun to be regulated and a very noble and humane way from the point of view of different scholars’ as well as state laws. And the Takhrijul Hadith method is very importhant in reviewing the various hadith arguments about polygamy in order to strengthen the oblique issue of polygamy’s basic priciples. The prohibition of polygamy is expressly intented to maintain the status of women.

Abstract:
The practice of polygamy is still a polemic to this day, with pros and cons both from human rights activists and from polygamy practitioners themselves. This research aims to examine the phenomenon of polygyny in Karawang Regency from the perspective of Islamic law and laws for justice; the social conditions that occur in Karawang further impact family welfare, such as household harmony, economic conditions, early marriage, and even polygamy. Polygamy has increased in Karawang in the form of polygyny. A lack of understanding about fairness in polygynous marriages in Karawang society supports the problems that arise from the occurrence of polygyny. The approach used in this research is an empirical juridical approach, or field research, examining applicable legal provisions and what happens in society. The results of the research show that the understanding of husbands and wives who practice polygyny in Karawang regarding Law No. 1 of 1974 regarding marriage varies, and some need help understanding the law, especially those relating to polygynous marriages. Some need help understanding law no. 1 of 1974, limited public understanding of Law no. 1 1974 concerning marriage is due to a lack of public interest. Also, because socialization regarding this law is uneven, especially regarding polygynous marriages, the public is more interested in using Islamic law.

This paper aims to discuss the issu of the influence of Kemalism on the polygamy law in Turkey to disribe universally the influence of Kemalism on the polygamy law in Turkey by firs knowing Mustafa Kemal’s mission in the information of a republic there. This paper will try to answer haw Kemalism has a major influence on the family law, especially the polygami law. this paper includes the results of the qualitatif research with data sources and documents from a number og books and articels as well as as from other data sources related to this paper. The result of this paper is to find a complete overhaul of state regulations regarding the family right in 1917 in which it is explained that polygamy is not prohibited but still on condition that the husband can be fair to his wives and the wafe may write a divorce not before the marriage after this (polygamy). If the man ignores this, than the divorce has the right to be carried out into the Turkish Civil Code of 1926, which explains the absolute prohibition of polygamy. This cange occurred because of the influence of Kemalism on the Turkish state. From this infuence there is rule regarding violations againts people who practice polygamy. However, there are no rules that explicitly regulate sanctions for such violation The Turkish Family Law Of Cyprus 1951. But basically the lawimplicitly exsplain that polygamy in Turkey is not permitted and those who violate it will get a penalty.

Abstract:
Introduction: According to evolutionary evidences, humankind has a pattern of polygamy, similar to other primates. In the following article, we discussed the polygamy evidences and its psychosocial consequences. Aim: The following article discusses women’s issues in polygamous families, with information gathered from studies of communities in which polygamy is legal and common. Method: The current study was a systematic review. From 2001 to 2020, related keywords have been searched and 30 articles have been extracted from valid internal and foreign databases such as SID, Science Direct and PubMed. Afterwards, the polygamy’s effects have been studied in 17 articles. Results: Polygamous marriages have been found to encounter various issues, such as low levels of self esteem, parenting and family dysfunctions, as well as struggling with psychological disorders such as somatic symptom disorder, depression, panic, anxiety, dysrhythmia, interpersonal sensitivity disorder, paranoia, and hostility. Conclusion: According to review, it can be concluded that although our biological foundation was not built for monogamy, findings indicate that following this evolutionary biological process (following polygamy) can be harmful for human kind and should be reconsidered.

Abstract:
Polygamy is widespread in Africa, being highest in Burkina Faso (36%), Mali (34%), Gambia (30%), Niger (29%), and Nigeria (28%). 83.39% of traditional societies in the world practice polygyny, while 16.14% practice monogamy. Significant evidence that the Bible presents monogamy as God's blueprint or original plan for marriage exists. Despite this evidence, numerous investigations revealed that the percentage of young people who find polygamy morally acceptable has risen from 9% to 34%, with about 8% of Christians in Nigeria living in polygamous households. This study calls for narrative review, analysis, and synthesis of vast works of literature to delineate important information, insights, symbolism, purpose, and characteristics of God's plan for marriage, in line with The King James Version Bible (2022) adopted as the conceptual framework for this study. The purpose of this study is to present marital monogamy, marriages involving only two people, male and female, as the biblical blueprint for marriage, and to provide a biblical platform for godly inspiration and instruction in righteousness towards adopting godly monogamous marriage as against the numerous ungodly marriages. This study delineated how the Bible can significantly and positively influence choice toward monogamous marriage while x-raying the dilemma of polygamy. The researcher extracted some documentaries from The King James Version Bible and peer-reviewed articles within the last five years from electronic databases, engaging some keywords such as "God's blueprint for marriage", "Polygamous marriages", and "Bible accounts of Polygamy Vs. Monogamy", "Choosing between Polygamy and Monogamy", etc. Results show that God's original intention or blueprint for marriage, according to the Bible was monogamy which encompasses marital monogamy, social monogamy, sexual monogamy, and genetic monogamy, all overlapping. Results also show that God allowed divorce and polygamy because of the hardness of men's hearts, although neither was part of His original plan for marriage. Results and insights from this study may have a positive social impact on marriage, research and innovations, and on the significance, symbolism, purpose, and benefits of monogamous marriage in preference to polygamy.

Abstract:
In 2014 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) updated their official website to include information about the polygamy/polyandry practiced by Joseph Smith, their founder and prophet, and his many wives. The admission by the LDS Church reconciles the tension between information that had become readily available online since the 1990s and church-sanctioned narratives that obscured Smith’s polygamy while concurrently focusing on the polygyny of Brigham Young, Smith’s successor. This paper entwines queer theory with Robert Proctor’s concept of agnotology—a term used to describe the epistemology of ignorance, to consider dissent from two interrelated perspectives: 1) how dissent from feminists and historians within the LDS Church challenged (mis)constructions of Mormon history, and; 2) how the Mormon practice of polygamy in the late nineteenth century dissented from Western sexual mores that conflated monogamy with Whiteness, democracy and social progression in the newly formed American Republic.

Abstract:
The traditional practice of polygyny, whereby only a man is allowed to marry more than one wife in a customary marriage, has long been perceived to be an offender of women's rights. Recent family law reforms on the African continent show that the focus has been on promoting and protecting the rights of women as defined in international human rights law, as well as on respecting the practice of polygyny. These legislative reforms in jurisdictions such as Kenya, Mozambique and South Africa show that the approach to regulating polygyny has been either to legalise, abolish, or regulate the practice. In view of the focus in these reforms on both women's rights and respect for the practice of polygyny, this paper examines the different approaches of the selected countries to regulating the practice. In particular, this paper investigates how these countries are striking a balance between polygyny and the protection of women's rights. It will also highlight the difficulties that law reformers face in regulating the practice in such a way as to protect women's rights, as well as the gaps in the law reforms that need to be addressed.

Abstract:
La polygamie pose à la fois et tacitement, par son existence et ses actions symboliques, et explicitement, par le discours et les théories qu’elle produits ou auxquelles elle donne lieu, à un certain nombre de questions qui sont parmi les plus importantes de mon étude des sciences sociales, et, pour certaines, tout à fait nouvelles. Cette institution de révolte contre une forme particulière de violence symbolique, outre qu’elle fait exister des objets d’analyse nouveaux , met en question très profondément l’ordre symbolique en vigueur et pose de manière tout à fait radicale la question des fondements de cet ordre et des conditions d’une mobilisation réussie en vue de le subvenir, comme le conçoit Pierre Bourdieu. La forme particulière de domination symbolique dont sont victimes les femmes en couples polygames chez les Punu, frappées d’un stigmate qui, à la différence de la couleur de la peau ou de leur féminité, peut être cachée ou (affichée), s’impose à travers des actes collectifs de catégorisation qui font exister des différences significatives , négativement marquées, et par là, des groupes, des catégories sociales stigmatisées. Comme dans certaines espèces de racisme, elle prend en ce cas la forme d’un déni d’existence publique, visible. L’oppression comme « invisibilisation » se traduit par un refus de l’existence légitime, publique, c’est-à-dire connue et reconnue, notamment par le droit, et par une stigmatisation qui n’apparait jamais aussi clairement que lorsque le mouvement revendique la visibilité. Je le rappelle alors explicitement à la « discrétion » ou à la dissimulation qu’elle est ordinairement obligé de s’imposer
Polygamy, both tacitly because of its existence and its symbolical action, and explicitly, through the speeches and the views it expresses or it gives rise to, raises a certain number of queries which are among the most important ones of my social sciences survey and, as far as some of them are concerned, completely new. This institution of revolt against a particular form of symbolic violence, besides the fact that it gives rise to new analysis subjects, thoroughly questions the current symbolic order and completely raises the query of the foundations of this order and of conditions of a successful mobilization in order to support it. The particular form of symbolic domination whose victims are the women in polygamous couples, struck by a mark which, unlike the colour of the skin or femininity, can be hidden or displayed , is obvious through group actions of categorization which give rise to significant differences, negatively marked , and consequently to marked groups and social categories. Like in some kinds of racism, it takes the form of a denial of public existence, which is visible

Abstract:
This thesis is about the boundaries of domestic immigration law and international human rights regarding polygamy. It considers how polygamous wives are treated, and why. Polygamy has traditionally been viewed in the West as ‘harmful’, both to women and society. Western legal systems do not allow domestic plural marriage, and international human rights institutions recommend the prohibition of polygamy. Despite that, valid foreign polygamous marriages are recognised in the United Kingdom, particularly where it would be more harmful to do otherwise—except in immigration. The Immigration Act 1988 and Immigration Rules exclude additional polygamous wives from reuniting with their families. No exception is made and any harm that women are likely to suffer as a result is irrelevant. This thesis argues that the treatment of additional polygamous wives, particularly in the refugee context where women are more likely to be exposed to insecurity and harm, presents a ‘polygamy paradox’. While formal objections to polygamy are apparently based on harm, they are likely to cause more harm than good. This work interrogates the stance on polygamy to consider not only its paradoxical effect, but what informs this outcome. Applying a critical legal understanding, this thesis exposes not only the unintended consequences of the law. It also highlights what has shaped legal boundaries, historically and more recently, revealing a hidden bias that undermines the legitimacy and efficacy of laws and rights. This work concludes by offering a renewed feminist framework for the consideration of polygamy; one which takes account of gender, history and power. Ordinary epistemological foundations for the treatment of polygamy are disturbed, so the voices of women who have occupied a neglected space at the centre of laws, rights and reality as a relentlessly excluded ‘other’ are heard, and the content of laws and rights may be improved.

Abstract:
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2013.
Polygamy is widely practised in African communities. The African social-realist novel, especially when it is woman-authored, shows female characters as having to play docile, subservient roles and accept demeaning positions in polygamous marriages. Although it has been claimed that traditional African marriage creates a satisfactory situation for women, mainly by means of the security it offers and the bonds that it forges between co-wives, the narrators of African realist novels almost always expose only evils associated with polygamy. In most of the texts, co-wives experience conflict with one another, not bonds. Men are portrayed as egocentric beings that greedily satisfy their sexual impulses at the expense of women. Encouraged by their families, they inflict irreparable emotional damage not only on their accumulated wives but often also on their offspring. While blinded by their desires, these men engender many unplanned children for whom they usually take little fatherly responsibility. Consequently, children too are objects of pity in many of the books. This dissertation, by means of close analysis of select African narratives, reveals that, despite all the struggles for liberation and democracy, values highly regarded in modern societies, polygamy is a prevailing sign of male dominance in African communities today. The dissertation shows that even such male-authored novels as Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Onuora Nzekwu’s High Life For Lizards fail to recommend a polygamous life to women, while Mariama Bâ ’s So Long a Letter and Scarlet Song, Buchi Emecheta’s The Joys of Motherhood and Kehinde, Es’kia Mphahlele’s Chirundu, Lazarus Miti’s The Prodigal Husband, Ama Ata Aidoo’s Changes, Sue Nyathi’s The Polygamist,SembeneOusmane’s Xala, Lola Shoneyin’s The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives, Rebecca HourwichReyher’s Zulu Woman, Miriam KWere’s The Eighth Wife, T.M. Aluko’s One Man One Wife and Aminata Sow Fall’s The Beggars’Strike all use polygamy to highlight the incongruence between the ideals of democracy and the facts of life as experienced by African women. These texts reflect real social problems. They cast light on the inequalities that prevail in polygamous relationships and imply that the principle of equality cannot be achieved as long as polygamy exists.

Mohd, Razif Nurul Huda. ""Halal" intimacy : love, marriage and polygamy in contemporary Malaysia." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2017. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/270549.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis illustrates how love, legality, money, sex(uality) and sin direct Malays’ marital strategies in the face of various social, moral, religious and structural pressures. Passionate love (cinta) is cherished and celebrated by Malays – that is, if it is indulged within marriage. Marriage serves as a license to engage in (otherwise illicit) sexual desires by rendering them “halal” or lawful in the eyes of Islam and Malay adat (traditions). A vigilant State-led Islamic Bureaucracy, which polices and punishes pre- or extramarital sexual liaisons between unmarried couples through strict moral surveillance, further ensures that access to physical intimacy remains a conjugal privilege. However, hindered by complex bureaucratic procedures for marriage and pressured by escalating passions, many of my Malay informants are compelled to seek cheaper, quicker, and discreet alternatives in neighboring Southern Thailand to “halal-ize” pre- or extramarital romances, resulting in secret – and legally contentious – monogamous or polygamous cross-border marriages. Cross-border marriages – specifically polygamous ones – are subsequently explored here as a careful (and often failed) negotiation between discretion and disclosure: their stability decreases with increased exposure, rendering them highly precarious. Contrary to the dominant male-centric scholarship on polygamy, this study privileges the perspectives and experiences of polygamous wives by considering how their position within the marriage informs their capacity to engage in – or conversely, disengage from – this multi-marital arrangement. Polygamy is embraced by some women as a female choice that secures access to marriage and motherhood – both crucial towards achieving Malay womanhood. For others, polygamy is hardly a “choice” at all, and they must cope with the discomforting reality in which the husband’s money, time, and attention are now “halved” between his wives. Love in polygamy is experienced in visible and measurable terms, and the husband’s unequal distribution of his emotional and economic resources create discontent among wives that may culminate in divorce, or covertly confronted through sorcery. In Malay polygamy, more therefore means less.

Abstract:
This article delves into the multifaceted perspectives on polygamy, specifically focusing on why a woman might opt to become a co-wife. The study, conducted in a private Facebook group for women who are part of or interested in polygamous relationships, unveils that societal norms, religious convictions, and individual situations greatly shape the views on polygamy. Despite certain muslim feminist groups advocating for the restriction of polygamy to specific scenarios, both men and women have their unique interpretations and applications of the principle, often extending beyond the confines of the Qur'anic context. However, these theories don't fully encompass the practical responsibilities and potential hurdles tied to polygamy. The study also exposed that polygamy, commonly perceived from a male-centric viewpoint, could also be interpreted as a woman's right, particularly when she is the instigator of the marriage. In summary, the research provides both theoretical insights and pragmatic implications, allowing us to perceive polygamy not just as a male prerogative but also as a potential social support structure for women.

Child marriage briefing: Nigeria. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/pgy19.1004.

Abstract:
This brief provides an overview of child marriage as well as the particulars of child marriage in Nigeria, one of the poorest countries in the world. More than two out of three Nigerians live on less than US$1 a day, and life expectancy is 52 years. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has had a devastating effect on the country, and Nigeria has some of the highest rates of early marriage worldwide. The Child Rights Act, passed in 2003, raised the minimum age of marriage to 18 for girls. However, federal law may be implemented differently at the state level, and to date only a few of the country’s 36 states have begun developing provisions to execute the law. Domestic violence is widespread and a high prevalence of child marriage exists. Nationwide, 20 percent of girls are married by age 15, and 40 percent are married by age 18. Although the practice of polygyny is decreasing, 27 percent of married girls aged 15–19 are in polygynous marriages. Included in this brief are recommendations to promote later, chosen, and legal marriage.
