By definition, polygamy is the practice or custom of having more than one wife or husband at the same time. Continuing from biblical times, polygamy has been commonly associated with the Mormon Church and television shows like Big Love or Sister Wives. Due to diverging beliefs between polygamists and monogamists on the sanctity of marriage and relationships, those who have multiple partners are looked at as pariahs and their beliefs as taboo. An analysis of the structure of polygamy reveals that it provides unity and financial stability; and should not be punishable or illegal.
