Polygyny is the marriage system in which a man is allowed to have more than one wife. Monogamy is the marriage system in which a person is only allowed to have one spouse. Polygamy is a broader term that refers to any marriage system in which a person can have multiple spouses. Polyandry is another type of polygamy in which a woman is allowed to have more than one husband. Mononucleosis is a viral illness that has nothing to do with marriage systems.
