  Polygamy emerged as a political issue in Indonesia following the 1998 reformation that ushered in a period of social change. This study identifies the dynamics and causes that have contributed to the increasingly complex debate on polygamy in Indonesia among women's rights activists, state elites, religious leaders, and supporters of shariah.
