Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monogamy was the primary form of marriage for all but the elite in agricultural states. This is because the resources necessary for supporting multiple spouses were not available to the majority of people, making monogamous marriages more practical and common. Polygyny, polyandry, and polygamy were reserved for the wealthy and powerful, who could afford multiple spouses and use these relationships to establish political and economic alliances. Agamy is not a recognized term for any type of marriage pattern.
