Polygamy in Bahrain
Like many countries in the Muslim world, polygyny is legal in Bahrain. However, according to the Bahrain Center for Human Rights' write-up on women's rights in Bahrain at the present time, polygamy is only practiced by a minority of Bahraini citizens, though unlike most countries, levels of education and areas of habitation do not play a strong role in statistics composed of citizens practicing polygamy.[1]
