So I found out something interesting a while back. Polygamy is split into two categories. Polygyny is specifically the practice of a man having more than one wife. And when a women has more than one husband, the practice is called Polyandry. It could be that Polygyny is a person having more than one wife and Polyandry is a person having more than one husband, but I'm not sure. The definitions I've seen are worded the way I first put it. Polygamy, as you said is having more than one spouse and doesn't specify the gender of the spouse or the person who has them.

But yeah, out MC is only marrying one person. I thought that was called an open relationship, but maybe open relationships are polyamorous and it's just kind of different names for the same thing?
