Polygamy is when someone is married to more than one person at a time. In France, it is not legal for someone to have more than one spouse at the same time. This means that if someone is married to one person, they cannot legally get married to another person without divorcing the first person.
Even though polygamy is not allowed in France, there are still some people who practice it. Some people may have more than one partner and consider them all to be their spouses, but this is not recognized by the government and is not legal.
Polygamy was actually legal in France until 1993, but the law was changed to make it illegal. This was done because the government believed that having multiple spouses could lead to exploitation and abuse of women and children.
In some cultures, having multiple spouses is common and even considered normal. However, in France, it is against the law and not accepted by the government.
