Polygamy in Uzbekistan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polygamy is illegal in Uzbekistan (punishable by up to three years imprisonment) and the nation does not provide for polygamous marriages under civil law or customary law.[1] Despite such illegalities, there have been recent debates about the legislation of polygamous marriages under civil law;[2] though such measure have always failed to pass.
