Any connection to disease?

 

[Lohrenswald]

no

 

[Snerk]

Legality of female curcumcition or other religious ritual?

 

[Lohrenswald]

No but you're heading in the right direction

Criminalization of homosexuality?

 

[Takhisis]

Reposting for new page:

light blue is this, Dark blue and green are partially this (in different ways) and black is not this

 

[Lohrenswald]

Criminalization of homosexuality?

no, but still in the vaguely general correct area

Is it about clothing being legal? (eg burka, nihab etc)

 

[Goodfella]

Does it have to do with freedom of religion? Shot in the dark: Black - countries where there are no religious laws (in theory), light blue - religious laws apply, green - religious laws apply to marriage or are regional, purple - something similar to green ?

 

[inthesomeday]

South Africa being included while even countries like Turkmenistan are excluded should be a clue.

Perhaps something about sectarian religious conflict?

 

[Kyriakos]

Religious marriage customs? Eg political marriage not there or not equal in law etc.

Religious marriage customs? Eg political marriage not there or not equal in law etc.

this guess is the one closest to the answer so far

South Africa being included while even countries like Turkmenistan are excluded should be a clue.

To me, the dark blue countries seem somewhat random (especially russia)

Israel being pretty much the only black one in the middle east is probably the most useful thing to look at

Laws allowing for family/relatives to force-arrange marriage? Or more general sharia re women.
Can't be; Turkey would be there too

 

[Lohrenswald]

no

Corruption

 

[Birdjaguar]

More than one wife is allowed or allowed under some situations.

I kinda expected the word polygamy to appear lol but yea.

light blue countries polygamy (or polyginy, really) is legal, in green countries it's legal specifically only to muslims. It's illegal in the black and dark blue countries, but in the dark blue countries it's decriminalised

 

[Birdjaguar]

I pass, so anyone else can start a new map.

 

[Kyriakos]

Deeper purple= more
White= no (official) stats.

 

[Snerk]

White people
