Exogamy is the formal or informal practice of requiring a person to marry outside of his or her own social group or category. Endogamy, on the other hand, requires a person to marry within his or her own group. Monogamy refers to the practice of being married to only one person at a time, while polygamy refers to the practice of having more than one spouse at the same time.
