No, polygamy is not legal in Japan. Japan has a long history of monogamous marriage, and the legal framework currently prohibits polygamy.
Here are some additional points to consider:
- Historical Context: While Japan has a history of polygamous relationships, particularly among the aristocracy, these practices were largely abolished during the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century.
- Modern Society: In contemporary Japan, monogamous marriage is the norm. The law only allows for one legal spouse at a time.
- Cultural Norms: Japanese society generally upholds monogamy as the ideal family structure, with emphasis on fidelity and commitment within a single marriage.
