Polygamy is being allowed to have multiple marriages at once. Some countries do in fact still support polygamy, it is legal in 58 out of nearly 200 sovereign states. Therefore it is not actually completely illegal and is hard to say when it was made illegal as each country would have done this at different times. I would search it for particular countries rather than generalising it.
Yes, there is still polygamy in the world.
polygamy is illegal in the United states of america. Marrying a second wife while you are still married to the previous one is Bigamy which is clearly contrary to the law.Thus, if a man wants another wife he must have divorced the previous one.

It was Banned in the United States by the Merrill Act in 1862 Uh, no. there is no such thing as the Merrill act. it is called the Morrill act of 1862 and has nothing to do with polygamy.

Its illegal but people still do.
