Due to recent legal restrictions imposed by the government of Morocco, polygamous marriages are nearly nonexistent.^[1] Even with these new limitations, polygamy is still practiced by a favorable amount of Muslims living in the nation. According to various reports from outsiders, Morocco is said to be one of the least accepting of polygamy in the Muslim world, likely due to the legal restrictions enforced by the government.

[edit] Western Sahara

The region known as Western Sahara is claimed by Morocco, yet there is an ongoing dispute. Despite this, Western Sahara recognizes polygamous unions.
