But in polygamy they would all be married to each other?

It’s not a case of 1 + 2 but more like 1 + 1 + 1 or am I missing the point here?

Surely the couple would marry the third person and not just one half of the existing party.

The context in which I responded was that understanding of being in a relationship with two other people. Not my partner having another relationship with someone else.

Which also draws the difference between what would he polygamy and an open relationship which is much more one sided.

It depends on which form it will take shape or multiple forms thereof. Polyandry with what the media are caught up with, a wife with whom has multiple simultaneous husbands, of which polygyny is the opposite, and then there is the form of group marriage.

Lastly polyamory for the open types.

Polyandry should be kept illegal thought due to various reasons

Here is the discussion document,


this point was brought up,

If men are permitted to have more than one wife under customary law, then equality demands that polyandry be recognised so as to be consistent in the application of the equality principle.

other than the Khoi-San, traditional leaders are opposed arguing,

Polygamous marriages are an acceptable form of marriage. Traditional leaders; however, object to the proposition that the consent of the first wife in a polygamous marriage is a requirement for the subsequent marriage of her husband to be valid. Traditional leaders emphasised that women are not equal to men and that each gender has its own role in the family and society. Only men are permitted to have multiple spouses; accordingly, traditional leaders deem polyandry an unacceptable practice because it is not of African origin.
