A husband can marry as many wives as he is able to support financially. These days, however, monogamous relationships are the absolute majority.

How common is infidelity/adultery in your nation?
Poligamy is legal for men, but with Riyah being a very conservative nation, even for men, relationships outside the marriage are frowned-upon. This effectively keeps monogamy as the most common form of relationship. While adultery is punished as a crime, a man but any relationship between two wives of a man does not count. A workaround that has appeared recently is for women in a homosexual relationship to marry the same man (usually a gay man) to cover their own "sexuality issues".

With contraception allowed but frowned upon, it ends up to the couple to decide how many children they will have. 2 or 3 children is the most common.

A mix of religious ceremony and contract between people/families.
What are some important cultural marriage customs in your nation(e.g., dowries, wedding celebrations, honeymoons, etc.)?
The liberalisation and modernisation brought about by oil money have made finance as important or more important a factor than tradition. Gone is the time when a couple married and women almost left everything behind. Both families contribute with resources for their offspring marriage, so think about "dowry and bride price together". When coming from wealthier families than their husbands, wives have much more freedom and financial independence in the relationship, being often the owners and operators of most of the family's assets.
