Polygamy and its relation to social welfare and economic development- particularly its economic effect in rural areas where it is practiced

Abstract

This draft resolution on polygamy and its relation to social welfare and economic development particularly its economic effect in rural areas where it is practiced at the Forth session of the commission. the resolution recognizing the fact that polygamy is being practiced in many parts of Africa and that those who practice it see nothing wrong in it but that on the contrary they regard those who preach against polygamy as not realistic and any country which prohibits polygamy by legislation is in fact guilty of denying freedom of worship to those who are allowed by their religion, under certain conditions, to be polygamous.
