Step-by-step explanation:

An old tradition or custom in which a man is allowed to have more than one wife at a time is known as polygamy.

For example, a man has been married to ten women.

Similarly, women can have more than one husband at a time in polygamy.

Thus, we can conclude that the custom of allowing a man to marry more than one woman is polygamy.

A custom which allows a man to marry more than one woman is
1. Found in most societies anthropologists have studied.
2. Almost always accompanied by rules which specifies the rights of different wives.
Marrying more than one woman is called polygamy. Most countries allow polygamy marriage while others they don't though we can term marriage as a legal thing. Because it is only in marriage that generations grow.
