    There is also a system of polygamy in the Arab region. In our country, many men may have been influenced by the traditional concepts of our ancient society and always dream of living a polygamous life. Therefore, they are always jealous of these countries that have polygamy.

    However, despite the fact that there is polygamy in Arabia, most people still live a monogamous life, and this system is more acceptable to all. In today's Arab region, polygamy is only common in rural areas and tribes. In the cities, especially in the families of intellectuals, there are very few polygamous families.

    In Arabia, not all regions are "polygamous". Although polygamy is legal in Arabia, it is still subject to strict legal restrictions that not everyone can do. The new law in Morocco, for example, provides that when a woman marries, she can ask her husband to promise not to marry another woman.

    At the same time, divorce must be agreed upon by both parties. In the past, women had no say when it came to divorce. As long as the husband says divorce, the marriage is over.

    However, there are exceptions. In Arabia, there are places where polygamy is simply abolished. This is the case in Tunisia, for example, and it also encourages people to have fewer children and exempts families with no more than four children from income tax.

    The reason for the existence of polygamy is that from ancient times to the present, the Arab region has always been a place that many countries want to get through wars, and wars have been going on. As a result, many men died in the war, leaving orphans and widows in their families. There is a serious imbalance between men and women, with fewer men and more women.

    At its peak, the male-to-female ratio was 1:7. Therefore, in order to help women whose husbands have died of war or disease, the state adopts polygamy.

    It is now an era of peace, so the phenomenon of polygamy is gradually decreasing.

    This place is the Manbang Three Team Village. Because the region is located in a remote mountainous area, isolated from the rest of the world, and their living customs and traditions are very different from those of the outside world, they do not comply with modern laws and continue to maintain polygamy.

    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.
