Types of Polygamy
There are generally three forms of polygamy: polygyny, polyandry, and group marriage.
Polygyny: Polygyny is the specific form of polygamy where a man marries multiple wives. This term is most commonly used interchangeably with polygamy because it’s the most common form of the concept.
Polyandry: Polyandry is a less common form of polygamy. With polyandry, you find a woman marrying multiple men.
Group Marriage: Group marriage, as the term implies, is when several men and women marry each other. This is a rarer form of polygamy.
(While some people might consider the above as types of polygamy, others might recognize them as concepts of their own. And in some instances, the terms are used interchangeably.)
When discussing Polygamy, some shy away from it, due to not knowing what Polygamy truly is. Some people don't have to think long nor hard, it's an easy "No".
