SA govt considers new marriage law that recognises women with multiple husbands
“Polyandry is defined as a form of polygamy in which a woman has more than one husband while polygyny is a form of polygamy in which a man has more than one wife. In South Africa, only polygyny is currently recognised where polygamous men can have many wives. In a push to promote equality, the Department of Home Affairs recently published a landmark policy document calling for polyandry to be legally recognised as a form of marriage.”
