An enormous variety of relationships between men and women, singly and in groups, meet the definition of marriage. Often the forms of marriage sanctioned by a society are related to the needs of that society. Marriage between two individuals, one male and one female, is known as monogamy. Marriage of three or more individuals is known as polygamy.
Polygyny is a form of polygamy in which one male is married to more than one female. Polyandry is a form of polygamy in which one female is married to more than one male. Still another form of polygamy is group marriage, in which two or more males are married to two or more females. In some societies a polyandrous marriage of two men with one woman may become a group marriage through the addition of a second woman. Not uncommonly in these marriages, the co-husbands are brothers and the added woman is the first wife’s sister.
In general, polygyny presupposes a considerable accumulation of wealth and is therefore rarely practice. A polygynous marriage requires more economic resources than a monogamous marriage because in most societies each wife and her children, unless they are sisters, have their own sleeping quarters and sometimes also have their own cooking facilities.
Where polygyny exists, it is practiced largely by the wealthy and the ruling classes, because only these can afford the luxury of having more than one wife. Generally it is the older men, who have lived long enough to acquire capital, who have more than one wife. Younger men have either one wife or none. In some societies where there is an extension of the marriageable ages for women, such as from 13 to 45 years, and a compression of marriageable ages for men, a larger pool of female partners is available, without an overall unbalanced sex ratio. This, too, leads to older men having several wives.
Polygyny is ______.
