Polygamy in Tunisia

Tunisia became the first Arab state to formally abolish polygamy in 1956,[1][2] the same year it gained official independence. In current times, Tunisia is still one of the very few predominantly Islamic nations that has legally banned polygamy. Turkey, which is non-Arab but predominantly Muslim, banned the practice in 1926, while the Kurdistan region in Iraq banned polygamy in 2008.
