Is polygamy legal in SA

Answer 1

Assuming SA stands for South Africa... polygamy is a complicated issue there. While civil recognition of polygamous marriages is illegal, many people are open polygamists and receive no punishment. Even the President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, openly admits that he is a polygamist currently married to three women.

If SA stands for Saudi Arabia, yes. Polygamy is legal in Saudi Arabia as it is permitted by Islamic Law.

Added: If SA stands for South America - it can almost assuredly be answered no, inasmuch as the majority(all?) South American nations are predominantly Roman Catholic, a religion that can hardly be described as sympathetic to the practice of polygamy.

Update: Polygamy is entirely 100% legal in South Africa. There is an Act of parliament that provides for the recognition of traditional marriages and provides a legal framework for such marriages. This legal framework provides security and rights for wives in African traditional marriage partners and wives in Muslim marriages. African marriages can be between a man and an unlimited number of women, but in South Africa the women get a say in decisions to include a new wife and share the accumulated assets in the event of a divorce. Muslim marriages are usually limited by Islamic custom to not more than four wives.
