+[[File:Polygyny.jpg|thumb|The polygyny flag.]]'''Polygyny''' is a term for when a [[man]] has a relationship or marriage with multiple [[Woman|women.]] This could be due to culture or religious beliefs, but it is not required. Among cultures, polygyny is the most common and accepted form of [[polygamy]]. Polyandry is illegal in many Western countries, most of the countries that permit polygyny are Muslim-majority countries. In some countries where polygamy is illegal, polygyny is still a cultural norm.
+It is in contrast to [[polyandry]].
-Note that although ''FLDS'' and other religious polygamous relationships tend to be polygny, they just fall under the polygyny umbrella. The specific name for these relationships are "Plural Marriages". It should also be noted that the ''FLDS'' is different from ''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints'' (more commonly called ''Mormon'' or ''LDS'' but those names should be avoided.) ''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints'' no longer practices polygamy.
