The Act passed back in August 2006 allows a married man to marry more than one woman if his local council court has found him compoetent to marry specific woman. Drawing some criticism that found her ruling lenient if not liberal, the Queen also upheld the right of a man to marry a legal resident, and even a non-resident foreign national.
The law also requires that a man's current wives must be fully aware of their husband's intent.
The Act implicitly allows import of brides from impoverished countries, but does stress that the children of such marriages are not eligible for national citizenship registry.
