Legal status of polygamy
In general, polygamy is legal in about 25% of countries〔There are approximately 200 nations (see List of sovereign states) and polygyny is legal in "nearly fifty" of them (see this page).〕 in the form of polygyny, the practice of one husband having two or more concurrent wives. Legal polyandry, the practice of one wife having two or more concurrent husbands, is much less common. Legal group marriage, the practice of concurrent marriages amongst multiple participants often with multiple participants of each gender,〔see also Polyfidelity〕 is also extremely uncommon. Some countries legally allow polygyny only among their Muslim population. A majority of the world's countries and nearly all of the world's developed nations do not permit polygamy, and there have been calls for the abolition of polygyny in many developing countries.
==Penalties==
In the countries which do not permit polygamy, a person who marries a person while still being lawfully married to another commits bigamy. In all such cases, the second marriage is considered legally null and void. Besides the second and subsequent marriages being void, the bigamist is also liable to other penalties, which vary between jurisdictions.
