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 China, certain ethnic groups in Yunnan and Guizhou have such customs, which is against the law.

A few days ago, it was reported that a man in Thailand married two sisters.

Polygamy is permissible in some parts of the Arab nation.

2. Libya.

On October 23, 2011, the Libyan Transitional ** National Transitional Council Air Reserve Meeting was held in Benghazi to officially announce the liberation of Libya. For example, "Take the law of divorce, for example, which is against the rules of Islam, so it will be forbidden." In other words, under Gaddafi, "polygamy" was forbidden, but in today's new Libya, "polygamy" has destroyed the legality.

3. Kenya.

On April 30, 2014, Kenya** Kenyatta signed a highly controversial bill on the 29th to legalize polygamous marriages in line with some local traditions.
