Polygamy in Bahrain

{{short description|none}}

Like many nations in the Muslim world, polygyny is legal in Bahrain. However, according to the Bahrain Center for Human Rights' write-up on women's rights in Bahrain at the present time, polygamy is only practiced by a minority of Bahraini citizens, though unlike most nations, levels of education and areas of habitation do not play a strong role in statistics composed of citizens practicing polygamy.{{Cite web |url=http://www.bahrainrights.org/en/node/2798 |title=Freedom House: Bahrain's Women Rights |access-date=2009-03-25 |archive-date=2018-01-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180117075542/http://www.bahrainrights.org/en/node/2798 |url-status=dead }} Between 2010 and 2015, the polygamy rate in Bahrain was 5.16 percent.{{cite news |author= |date=December 4, 2019 |title=Kuwait has 'highest rate of polygamy, cousin marriages' |url=https://www.newarab.com/news/kuwait-has-highest-rate-polygamy-cousin-marriages |work=The New Arab |location=London, United Kingdom |access-date=September 7, 2023}}
