Polygamy is when a man marries more than one wife. Islam allows polygamy but in their case, the man cannot have a court wedding, if he does, only one wife will be civilly recognized. On the context of a traditional African man, he can marry more than one wife if he married all of them traditionally. If he marries one in a court or church, the legally wedded wife is the only one recognized. Now bigamy is when a man who is still married to a legally married wife goes on to marry another wife or other wives without divorcing the legally married wife. |

Polygamy is when having many spouses is legal. Bigamy is when having many spouses is legally an offense. The former is legal, the later is illegal. This is the difference. If the manner in which you have more than one spouse is considered illegal in your society, you having those two or more spouses is bigamy. If the manner in which you have more than one spouse is considered legal in your society, you having those two or more spouses is polygamy. |
