ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Polygyny

Polygyny is when one man has more than one wife. It's like having a lot of girlfriends, but they are all married to you at the same time. In some places in the world, this is allowed, but in other places, it is against the law. It is different from polyandry, which is when one woman has more than one husband. Polygyny can sometimes happen because the man wants to have many children or because he wants to have a big family. It is important to remember that everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, but it is also important to treat everyone with respect and kindness.
