It would be worth adding the Ethiopian Orthodox position to this article given how polygamy persisted among Christians in the country until the 19th century. In brief, the Church tolerated the civil/secular custom but did not officially recognise such marriages. That's why, even now, most married men in the Ethiopian Church don't receive communion. Historically, it was because any man with more than one wife was considered an adulterer by the Church and so, de-facto, excommunicated. 1.127.107.200 (talk) 17:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
