What country has made it illegal for a married couple to have more than one child?
The country you?re asking about is China.
In 1979 the Chinese government implemented a policy known today as the
one-child policy.

?The 'one child' policy stipulates each couple living in the cities
should only have one child, unless one or both of the couple are from
an ethnic minority or they are both only children.?
?In most rural areas, a couple may have a second child after a break
of several years.?
(..)
?The one-child policy was introduced to ensure that China, which has
historically been prone to floods and famine, could feed all its
people.?
