  3. cYes, with permission from the mayorOui, avec une autorisation du maire
  4. dNo, polygamy is forbidden in FranceNon, la polygamie est interdite en FranceCorrect answer

Why?

No. In France, you cannot marry a second time as long as the first marriage has not been ended, by divorce or death. Polygamy is a délit (a mid-level criminal offence) punished by law. Religion or the spouses’ agreement do not change this rule.
