Misleading[edit]
The classifications on the map are misleading with respect to states where polygamy is legal under customary law but not udner civil law, e.g. Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe: the map shows such states as "Polygamy generally illegal, but practice not fully criminalised". This is not accurate - the correct position, certainly for Zimbabwe, as that there are two types of marriage which are recognised under law and polygamy is legal in a customary marriage and illegal in a civil marriage. That is not "generally illegal" - in Zimbabwe 11 percent of married women are in polygamous marriages - and polygamy is legal for all marriages which have been contracted under customary law, even if in practice a customary marriage is monogamous.

- If it's illegal under civil law, then the map is right. --92slim (talk) 06:19, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Казахстан[edit]
В Казахстане нет запрет на многожество. Такое просто не оформляют по закону.--Kaiyr (talk) 18:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Два синих цвета[edit]
НАдо изменить один из двух отенков синего цвета, а то трудно различим.--Kaiyr (talk) 18:57, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Color[edit]
Two of the colors seem too close to be easily distinguishable.
Could someone fix this? I would do it, but I don't have a clue as to how it's done.
Thank you.
Coloring[edit]
Could we change some of the coloring please? Can we change the black to purple, and the ambiguous to dark blue? That would make it run much more nicely by a continuum.
- Colouring has been changed, and some errors fixed. --92slim (talk) 06:19, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- @92slim: I'm confused. Please fix the legend as well. I don't have time to look up the marriage laws of the countries involved, you probably know them better than me, having worked on this map --BurritoBazooka (talk) 16:26, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
