A: Polygamy is defined as having more than one spouse at a time; it usually refers to a situation in which a husband has more than one wife. Polygamy was outlawed in the United States in 1862, yet an estimated 30,000 to 100,000 individuals continue to practice polygamy in America. Polygamy is more well-known in developing countries in Africa and Asia.
