Not a neutral view

This article only cites negative viewpoints or information which may not have anything to do with the topic. Suggesting many articles about African warfare and violence is linked to polygyny, is obsurd. Causes for violence occur in every society. Negative viewpoints stating polygyny is less likely to succeed than monogamy is false and has no scientific basis. I have scientific journal studies in both culture and psychology that show otherwise. This article seems to promote only feminist ideology, and not a neutral viewpoint. 63.245.158.182 (talk) 01:15, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Judaism subsection

The claim that Moses had three wives is certainly not a traditional one, most traditional sources would assert that all three ‘women’ are really the same woman described in three different ways. Also many other important figures had multiple wives, like Abraham and Jacob, Esau who was a minor figure and Moses who only had one wife- are hardly necessary for the point to be made. This should be revised. Also, Karaite Jews should be a separate section as neither they nor traditional Jews consider each other of the same faith or possibly even ethnicity.

Certain region?

What are the regions of indonesia in which the polygyny law has been banned? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:D487:BE38:30E9:D606 (talk) 17:43, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Polygyny is not illegal in Australia

1) The definition of polygyny used in this article is very odd. Restricting the article to polygynous *marriage* is arbitrary, as the word is also used to describe informal relations, defacto relationships and civil partnerships. 2) Despite polygynous *marriage* being illegal in Australia, polygynous defacto and informal relationships are both legal.

I imagine the situation is similar in other countries.

This article needs to be revised. I'd be happy to contribute, but only if I could be relatively certain it won't be immediately rolled back. Bryce Stansfield (talk) 21:41, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
