Polygamy in Nigeria
Under civil law, Nigeria does not recognize polygamous unions. However, 12 out of the 36 Nigerian states recognize polygamous marriages as equivalent to monogamous marriages, as all twelve are governed by Sharia Law. The states, which are all northern, include the states of Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Sokoto, Yobe, and Zamfara 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Analysis: Nigeria's Sharia split )〕 which allows for a man to take more than one wife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nigeria: Family Code )〕
== Practice ==
Zamfara State was the first to legislate polygamy,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Q&A: Sharia in Zamfara State )〕 which occurred on January 7, 2000. Gombe State has been the most recent state to provide for civil polygamy, legalizing it on December 14, 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Unfizzled Sharia Vector in the Nigerian State )〕
As the southern region of Nigeria is composed of mostly Christians, polygamous marriages have not been legally introduced at this time. Attempts to introduce Sharia (thereby legalizing polygamy) have been made in Oyo State, Kwara State, Lagos State, and several others, yet all unsuccessful. Polygamous unions are recognized by customary law in Nigeria, providing a handful of benefits for those in polygamous unions ranging from inheritance rights to child custody.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nigeria )〕
As of 2009, there has yet to be any debate of introducing a measure that would allow for civil polygamous marriages to be recognized within the entire country of Nigeria, letting the legislation play out on a state-by-state basis rather than introducing a nationwide measure.
