When a society practices polygyny:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polygyny refers to a society in which men can have more than one wife. It does not necessarily mean that all men will have multiple wives. In some polygynous societies, only wealthy or high-status men may have more than one wife. However, it is important to note that polygyny is not universal and there are many societies in which it is not practiced at all. Options A, C, D, and E are incorrect because they either suggest that most women will have more than one husband or that both men and women will have multiple spouses, which are not characteristics of polygynous societies.
