   You describe polygyny incorrectly. It's not a marriage involving   
   multiple wives. It's one marriage between a husband and a wife, then   
   another marriage between a husband and a wife, etc. Multiple marriages,   
   not one marriage. Each marriages has only two partners - one husband   
   and one wife. And the wives are not each other's spouses, they each   
   have only one marriage partner, their husband. (For polyandry, just   
   reverse the sexes in this description.)
