Polygamy is not legal in Colombia. The country recognizes only monogamous marriages, meaning that individuals can be legally married to only one partner at a time. However, Colombia does have legal recognition for certain forms of cohabitation and domestic partnerships, but these do not equate to polygamous marriages. As a result, while people may engage in polygamous relationships socially, such arrangements are not sanctioned by law.
