Polygamy in Lesotho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The practice of polygamy is legal in Lesotho,[1] though such marriages are not recognized under civil law. However, customary law allows for such unions,[2] which while not recognized as legal marriages by the government, allow the spouses a variety of benefits such as child custody and inheritance rights.
