The page works just fine. Just like the Same-sex marriage pages — otherwise the Polygamy article would become much too long.

That is fine, if there is any substance to the individual articles being split off, but this one at present has one short sentence. It is also not consistent with the fact that polygamy in several other countries is covered in more detail than polygamy in Eritrea - in the body of the main article. I would recommend either (1) Establishing separate articles only when there is substantive text about the subject or (2) Creating an article along the lines of "polygamy (laws) in different countries", and putting all country-specific material in that article. But i do not think a on-line article such as this really adds to WP.hamiltonstone (talk) 22:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good points. I'm in the process of page listing all the world laws of polygamy, so that will be helpful in the future. I elaborated the article in the meantime. Wikitiki666 (talk) 08:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to "recognized in some regions" in template

I feel that this section bests suits it. The (Sharia) can still be placed next to it as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zombieisland09 (talk • contribs) 10:25, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's an ongoing debate. So far, everyone is 100% in favor of moving Eritrea from Legal recognition of Polygamy to "recognized in some regions" as you stated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.226.152.46 (talk) 13:25, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I voted in favor of the change as well. Let's continue the discussion over to Template_talk:Legal recognition of Polygamy#Eritrea. Vickiloves08 (talk) 13:50, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And thank you for adding more to the article. It definitely has a place here now. Vickiloves08 (talk) 13:51, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Districts under Sharia

Can anyone find the specifics on which Eritrean districts are governed by Sharia law? I'm having a rather hard time. Thanks. Zombieisland09 (talk) 02:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
