Polygamy in your nation

[Warustan]

Polygamy is not legal in Warustan. We believe that polygamy could encourage serial slavery, kidnappings, forced marriages and sexism. You are only allowed to marry 1 other person.

[Teffland]

Polygamy is legal, though uncommon in Teffland between any group of people. One restriction is: All persons belonging to the group are married with each other. So a woman can e.g say "I have 2 husbands and 1 wife", this is totally legal. But both husbands cannot say "I have 1 husband and no wife",then. It is also connected with duties and rights. If you get a divorce, you get a divorce with all your husbands and wifes by default. Other partners may declare divorces, then, but still: all persons belonging to a group are married with each other.

[Taht-Tune]

Under Colonial rule polygamy, bigamy, and polyandry were outlawed; however, it has never been officially re-criminalised in specifics but rather in codified law defining marriage as a union between two people and the former ban on adultery. Since marriage is codified as a civil union between two consenting adults, no other spouse besides the first spouse would be entitled to the rights and protections of marriage. Moreover, until 1982, adultery was codified as a criminal offense and punishable by loss of rights to property and children in the case of divorce as well as 8-days in jail. As for the issue of sexuality and polygamy, same-sex relationships were decriminalised in 1990, and marriage legalized in 2012.

All forms of polygamy are legal in the Kingdom of Fleshbird. It isn't frowned upon in the culture, though it isn't common since most of the people come from a more traditional monogamous background. The people of Fleshbird were pushed out of an oppressive and restrictive reign of another kingdom, so it's in their social code to generally do their best to be accepting and nonjudgemental in order to not replicate their past kingdom's society.

[Miku the Based]

Polygamy/polygamy is illegal in the MKGNR.
Only Monogamous relationships allowed. Any sort of swinging must be approved by all parties involved, the two spouses and the special victims unit must co-sign the agreement papers and a special examination must undergo with the unit after which. The examination evaluates the faithfulness of the spouses to each other, this is also evaluates by the special victims unit and registered in the national archives.
Due to this paperwork and the highly regulated manner of this the act of swinging is very rare. Only the most faithful of spouses are able to undertake such a questionable act if they so wish.
Edit: same sex polyanrdry? Same sex anything is illegal, punishment is exile. That includes bathrooms, sleeping quarters, etc. with exception to sports teams and military units due to practical reasons. One will kiss their citizenship goodbye if they practice that sort of stuff.

Marriage trains are outlawed and one can be married to only one house head, divorce of a a member is allowed if that member is willing or by mayority decision.
