Legal Implications of polygamy tolerated in recomposed families: the Brazilian social context

Abstract

Latent in the Brazilian social context, the issue of recomposed families often escape from the eyes of less attentive legal experts. Law does not create families. In this sense – in a dialogue bias – it is initiated a search of social observation of these changes and interpersonal affective volunteer associations. Although monogamy is the rule, polygamy still exists – it is a fact – and the law cannot be blind to this reality.
