Can Paraguayan immigrants have multiple wives?

Paraguayan immigrants today cannot be polygamous. However, polygamy was practised in Paraguay, but it has been abolished. Now Paraguay is monogamous like China, and bigamy is a crime. At one time, the Paraguayan government enforced polygamy, and if a man became an adult without a wife, he would go to prison. If you are taught in prison, even if you marry your first wife, you will face jail if you don't marry your second wife for a long time.

The Paraguay war from 1864 to 1870 reduced Paraguay's population from 530,000 to 220,000, of which less than 30,000 were men. Because there are more women than men, the gender is seriously unbalanced. As a last resort, Paraguayan women took the initiative to apply to the government for polygamy policy.

On the surface, this system may be beneficial to men, but with the development of society, men have to bear more and more social and family responsibilities.

Due to the large number of families and the doubling of economic expenses, Paraguayan men have to bear greater pressure. Therefore, shortly after the recovery from the war, Paraguayan men proposed to the government to abolish polygamy.
