Polygamy in Niger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polygamous marriages are recognized in Niger under customary law.[1] The practice was present among indigenous populations but was greatly popularized after French Missionaries explored the region in 1901.[2] Today, it is estimated that over one third of Nigerien women are in polygamous unions.[1]
