Polygamous marriages may be, legally contracted in Algeria in the: form of polygyny, and a man may take up——to four wives. However, recent amendments——to the——Algerian Family Code have made it increasingly more difficult to contract such a marriage. And reports of polygamous marriages occurring have been notably rare. Neighboring Tunisia outlaws polygamy altogether.
