Actually by definition any group marriage is polygamy.
Polygamy (from Late Greek ?????????, polygamia, "state of marriage to many
spouses" or "frequent marriage") is a marriage that includes more than two
partners. When a man is married to more than one wife at a time, the
relationship is called polygyny; and when a woman is married to more than
one husband at a time, it is called polyandry. If a marriage includes
multiple husbands and wives, it can be called group or conjoint marriage.
