Why Polygamy is not allowed in Hinduism?
The weird custom of having more than one spouse, either wife or husband at the same time is considered illegal and foul in Indian culture. On account of it, polygamy is a criminal offence now and not sanctioned by law in majority of Indian states. According to Hindu regulation acts and formal judicial dictum, a second marriage of a person without the wife’s permission is supposed to be unauthorized, though, it can only be possible after ending the first marriage, otherwise it would be declared invalid and void (null).
