Polygamy in the Central African Republic

While polygamy is legal in the Central African Republic, it has been reported that the more well-educated women living in the nation have tended to oppose it, favoring a monogamous marriage instead. The country's legal code allows for a man to take up to four wives, but he must decide on the nature of his future marriages before he will be allowed to contract his first. In other words, if a man plans to marry three or less women in the future, he must make this clear or otherwise, he will not be able to marry additional women if he later changes his mind.^[1]
