Polygamy is the tradition of espousing many wives. When a man is wedded to higher than one wife at a moment, known as polygamy. When a woman is wedded to higher than one husband at a time, it is called polyandry. However presently only Islamic matrimonial law permits men to have up to four women as their wives, but polyandry is forbidden in Islam.
