    Uzbeks used to have a tradition of polygamy, early marriages were common, and husbands did not need any basis for divorce. Just say it. Women do not have the right to divorce.

    At the beginning of the 21st century, men and women have a great right to freedom in marriage, they can love freely, and the equal rights of men and women are becoming more and more common, but polygamy is still a common phenomenon.

    As far as I know, like the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, many primitive tribes are polygamy, in fact, many second wives are polygamy in disguise, the following is the understanding of African polygamy for reference.

    Polygamy is practiced in many countries on the African continent today. However, with the development of the times, polygamy has become more and more a controversial topic, with both supporters and opponents. African Arab countries such as Tunisia have long since legally abolished polygamy, and black African countries such as Benin have recently announced the abolition of this backward system.

    Senegal is a country that is seen by the West as having a better democracy, but it is a country with a more stubborn system of polygamy. In 2000, before the adoption of the new constitution, Senegal's Wade rejected the abolition of polygamy, arguing that it was an "ancient tradition" that "cannot be banned", although many articles on women's emancipation were proposed. Moreover, in Africa, there are heads of state who openly defend polygamy.

    For example, when a 2003 United Nations report pointed out that polygamy was one of the reasons for the high number of people living with HIV in Eswatini, King Mswati III publicly spoke out on television. It turns out that polygamy is completely legal in this country, and a man can marry as many wives as he wants. The 37-year-old King Mswati III has had nine wives and two "fiancées" since he first married at the age of 18.

    His father, the old King Sohuza, according to his official autobiography, married a total of 120 wives during his reign from 1921 to 1982. With nearly 40 per cent of Eswatini's population living with HIV, the highest in Africa, the King's speech shocked both the country and the rest of the world. According to the African Network, in many African countries, there are many ministers who practice polygamy, and even individual countries are polygamous.

    In Muslim countries, Islam allows polygamy. Now polygamy coexists with monogamy. There is no emphasis on formal, non-religious marriage ceremonies, while Muslim ceremonies presided over by the imam are quite solemn.

    According to Islamic regulations, if a man wants to divorce after marriage, he only needs to say "I want to divorce you" three times in front of his wife, and the divorce will take effect. After divorce, remarriage is encouraged. A divorced man can remarry and have up to four wives at the same time.

    With the development of society, monogamy is widely recognized in Arab society. Tunisia was the first country in the Arab world to introduce monogamy and encouraged fewer childbearings, exempting families with up to four children from income tax. Although polygamy still exists in Morocco, it is also subject to new laws.

    In the past, wives were abandoned as long as the husband said "tarag" (divorce) three times in a row. The new law stipulates that the woman may make it a precondition for the husband to promise not to marry again.

    In addition, the new law stipulates that divorce must be based on the consent of both parties.

    In today's Arab world, polygamy is prevalent only in rural and tribal areas. In the cities, especially among the intellectuals, polygamous families were rare. In Qatar, there is only one polygamous family out of every ten families.

    In Egypt, the proportion of polygamous households is only a few per thousand. An earlier statistic from the Egyptian Demographic Center showed that only 1 per cent of Egyptian men married two wives and four wives; Moreover, the higher the education and the better the cultural accomplishment, the less likely it is to marry multiple wives.

    According to statistics, there are only a few dozen people in Egypt who have held the title of doctor and married more than one woman. According to another statistical report, the proportion of officially registered wives with multiple wives in Egypt accounts for about 4% of the total population; The proportion of Gulf countries is higher, only about 8%.
