Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polygamy is the marriage practice in which a person has more than one spouse at the same time. This is a legal and culturally accepted practice in some societies, particularly in some parts of Africa and the Middle East. Monogamy is the opposite of polygamy, in which a person has only one spouse at a time. Endogamy is the practice of marrying within one's own social or cultural group, while exogamy involves marrying outside of one's group.
