Article L412-6 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

No residence document may be issued to a foreigner living in France in a state of polygamy. Any residence document held by a foreigner in such a situation will be withdrawn.

The situation of the spouse of a foreign national referred to in the first paragraph is examined on an individual basis. When ruling on the right of residence, the administrative authority will take account of the non-consensual nature of the polygamous situation
