Polygamy in Egypt
Polygamous marriages are currently lawful in Egypt for all Muslim men. Recent statistics provided by the National Centre for Sociological and Criminological Research (NCSCR) show that within three years of a marriage, nearly 25 per cent of Egyptian husbands take on a second wife and 70 per cent of these second marriages end in divorce. Debates of abolishing legal recognition of and outlawing the practice of polygamy have also been very apparent in the political field. If polygamy is outlawed, it would make Egypt the only other country in the Middle East to have legal codes against polygamy and civil polygamous marriages after Tunisia, Turkey, and Israel.
