The practice of people getting married to people who are similar to them is referred to as homogamy. This is supported by the research conducted by Eeckhaut et al. in 2013, which found that marriages between people from similar backgrounds tend to be more stable. Polygamy refers to the practice of having multiple spouses, polyandry specifically refers to a woman having multiple husbands, and serial monogamy refers to the practice of individuals having multiple consecutive monogamous relationships. None of these terms relate to the concept of people getting married to others who are similar to them.
