			== Lack of research ==
	The map notes say "India, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka:legal for Muslims only," but those countries represent 3/4 colors from the key. At the very least, Sri Lanka's dark blue color contradicts that statement (and Eritrea's contradicts note 2), and it brings into question the accuracy of the map as a whole.

			The prevalence section of the article says „Research into the prevalence of polyamory has been limited“ but then doesnt stick to it.

⚫	== Polygamy ~~not illegal~~ in ~~India~~ ==

	Some people have misinterpreted Supreme Court's judgement in 2015 about Polygamy for Indian Muslims based on incorrect information provided by this IBTimes news article http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/india-bans-polygamy-muslims-not-fundamental-right-islam-1487356. However the Supreme Court never banned polygamy, it only stated that it's not a fundantal part of Islam. I have read about this earlier also. Not only that as of October 2015, the Supreme Court was still considering banning polygamy http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/banning-polygamy/1/511127.html. Hence the assumption of some people that polygamy has been completely banned in India is wrong. Therefore, I ask India to be given green colour to present polygamy is legal for Muslims. I can't understand how to change the colour myself. Thank you in advance. ] (]) 11:34, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
	:{{reply\|Lakhbir87}} Yeah, you're right about that. I've just read both of the sources you gave and even searched about polygamy online. It turns out it never was banned, the court only stated that it was not a fundamental part of Islam. ] (]) 17:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
	::Fixed the map. --] (]) 02:19, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

	== NPOV ==
	This article has lost any semblance of a neutral point of view - there is confusion between polygamy and polygyny and extensive negative discussion that derives from that confusion. Much of the content properly belongs on the polygyny article rather than here - the remaining religious content could possibly be shortened and the relevant sections moved to other articles that already exist. ] (]) 23:24, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

	:Polygyny should be merged with this article, since most of the occurrence of polygamy is polygyny, almost by default. The religious sections are in fact the main body of the article, not sure what you imply. I removed the tag, because you haven't explained why it violates NPOV. If anything, the article reads quite neutral now. --] (]) 23:30, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

	::Please stop acting like you own this article. The fact that the religious sections are the main body of the article and the repeated adding of criticism over the last couple of years is exactly why the article fails NPOV. ] (]) 08:19, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

	:::Typical condescending response with no real meaning. The fact is that that's not an argument. Religious sources are necessary since the overwhelming majority of polygynous societies are Muslim. In turn, the majority of polygamous societies are polygynous, hence Muslim. Get over it. --] (]) 09:43, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

	== "Muslims only" in the map ==

	Is this distinction helpful? In most Islamic countries there is no civil marriage. And since most of these countries recognize, besides Islam, only Christianity and Judaism, this effectively means that polygamy is legal for Muslims only. So this would be true for almost all countries, or at least many of those that are now black. I think any country that allows polygamy for at least some group of the population should be black. The rest is more confusing than helpful. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 23:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	:''So this would be true for almost all countries'' Definitely not. Polygamy is illegal in most countries, both for Muslims and for non-Muslims. Although you have a point about the fact that most countries that allow polygamy are Muslim majority countries, the reason for the "only for Muslims" distinction in the map is because in fact, because those specific countries in detailed in green (Eritrea, Philippines, Singapore, and Sri Lanka) are not Muslim-majority countries. Pd. Colour code black is used to imply illegality, not legality. ] (]) 22:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
