Legal Status:
Polygamy is banned in all EU nations and most European countries. Marriage laws strictly enforce monogamy.
Example: In France/Germany, marrying a second spouse while already married is a criminal offense (bigamy).
Cultural/Religious Exceptions:
Rare cases exist where immigrants from polygamous cultures (e.g., some Muslim-majority countries) may have multiple wives under foreign law, but these unions lack legal standing in Europe.
Some European countries (e.g., UK) may recognize polygamous marriages performed abroad for limited civil purposes (e.g., welfare benefits) but not for legal marriage status.
Social Norms:
European societies overwhelmingly view monogamy as the standard. Polygamy is culturally frowned upon and statistically negligible.
Punishments:
Violators face fines, annulment, or imprisonment (e.g., up to 7 years in Italy).
Summary: While isolated personal/religious exceptions might occur, European men cannot legally marry two wives. Any such unions are either foreign-based (and unrecognized) or illegal.
