1. Seganer
Saganer, located in West Africa, is a country where the West thinks democracy is better practiced, but it is a polygamous country. Prior to the adoption of a new constitution in 2000, Senegalese President Dwyane Wade refused to abolish polygamy, despite proposing numerous provisions for women's liberation and arguing that it was an "ancient tradition" that could not be banned.
3. Tanzania
Tanzania is located in eastern Africa, in Tanzania, 40% of the people are Muslim, so polygamy is common. At the same time, the Qur 'an says that if a man does not treat all his wives equally, he can only marry one wife. This is a very tall order. This is a high bar for polygamy because it requires a certain amount of regular income to guarantee it, so not every Muslim in Tanzania has multiple wives.
