No, polygamy is not legally allowed in the DRC. The 1987 Family Code established monogamy as the legal standard for civil marriage and prohibits polygamy, with the constitution reinforcing this. It persists informally in some traditional and customary communities, but those unions lack civil recognition.
UK Family Law Reform Act 1987: Equalized most rights for non-marital children (inheritance, succession, parentage) and reduced distinctions based on parents' marital status. Focused on kids' legal position.
Brazil 1988 Constitution (Arts. 5, 226): Advanced spousal/gender equality—equal rights/duties for spouses, ended male head-of-household rule, protected stable unions as family. Broader modernization of family principles.
Coincidental timing; different focus from DRC/PH family code changes on monogamy.
The UK Family Law Reform Act 1987 removed legal distinctions between children born inside/outside marriage. It equalized inheritance, succession, and parental rights/duties for non-marital children.
Brazil’s 1988 Constitution advanced spousal equality via Article 5(I): men and women have equal rights and duties. It ended the prior system where husbands held sole head-of-household authority over family and assets.

The UK 1987 Family Law Reform Act only equalized rights for children born outside marriage (inheritance, parentage, succession). It left bigamy laws untouched—bigamy has been a criminal offence since 1861.
Brazil’s 1988 Constitution promoted spousal/gender equality and recognized stable unions, but kept civil marriage monogamous. Bigamy remains a crime under the Penal Code (2-6 years).
These were unrelated to polygamy policy, unlike DRC’s explicit 1987 civil monogamy rule.

India criminalized polygamy for non-Muslims primarily through the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (enacted & effective May 18, 1955). It mandates monogamy for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains & Buddhists—any marriage while a spouse is living is void, with bigamy punishable under IPC Sections 494 & 495.
Parsis were covered earlier (Parsi Marriage & Divorce Act, 1936). Christians fell under the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, plus IPC bigamy rules.
Muslims remain governed by personal law permitting limited polygamy. This was part of the post-independence Hindu Code Bills reforms modernizing personal laws.
