== 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.

== Anti-polygynous bias ==

I understand the inclusion of some field data that does indeed prove disadvantage points, but studies that claim economic disadvantages versus "traditional monogamy", "Rawlsian theory" and the original research done by the editors had to be removed. I can understand that ''some'' people feel strongly against polygyny, but the opposite side is not even represented in this article (saying it is under-represented is a massive understatement).

It is attested that many widows and orphans have benefited from polygyny in Islamic countries, for which I will try to find proper sources, and most of the Islamic countries bar the ones in the African continent feel fine about the practice ''per their beliefs'' (which inherently clash with the Western notion of "human rights" - see ]). Given that Africa is poor in general compared to the HDI of the Arabian peninsula, the removed studies are inherently flawed. --] (]) 08:15, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
