Polygyny
Polygyny is a mating system involving one male and two or more females, where the man takes many wives. Where polygamy is permitted and yet practiced, this is the only form in which it is permitted. The majority of the world's countries and virtually all of the world's developed nations, do not permit polygamy, and there have been growing calls for its abolition in many developing countries. In the many countries which do not permit polygamy, a person who marries in one of those countries a person while still being lawfully married to another commits the crime of bigamy. In all cases, the second marriage is considered legally null and void. Besides the second and subsequent marriages being void, the bigamist is also liable to other penalties, which also vary between jurisdictions. Polygamy has been condemned as being a form of human rights abuse, and many international human rights organisations as well as Women's rights groups in many countries have called for its abolition where it still lingers. The practice has also been explicitly ruled to be a violation of the internationally binding ICCPR, for polygamy violates "the dignity of women", and the UN has thusly recommended that the practice be abolished everywhere by sovereign states.
Polygyny
Polygyny (; from Neoclassical Greek πολυγυνία (polugunía); from Ancient Greek πολύ (polú) 'many', and γυνή (gunḗ) 'woman, wife') is the most common and accepted form of polygamy around the world, entailing the marriage of a man with several women.
