What does Monogamy and Polygamy refers to ?

[Joel18]

Monogamy refers to having only one partner at a time, whereas polygamy involves multiple partners at the same time.

Polygamy can be further divided into two categories: polygyny, where a man has multiple wives at the same time, and polyandry, where a woman has multiple husbands at the same time

Yes, that's correct!

Monogamy: A person has only one partner at a time, which is the most common form of relationship structure in many societies.

Polygamy: A person has multiple partners at the same time. It is divided into:

Polygyny: One man having multiple wives. This is more common in historical and some modern cultures.

Polyandry: One woman having multiple husbands. This is rare but has existed in certain cultures, such as among some Himalayan communities.



There is also polyamory, which is different from polygamy. In polyamory, people have multiple romantic relationships with the consent of everyone involved, but it doesn’t necessarily involve marriage.
