Bigamy means that a man has 2 wives.
Polygamy can mean he has even more wives than that.
Monogamy is just one wife.

They are called polygamists if they have many; a bigamist if there is "only" 2 wives.

Polygamy. (poly=many. gamy=having to do with marriage) I might be wrong. I'm only 13.

If there is more than one wife it is called polygyny, if more than one husband it's polyandry. Polygamy is the general term for more than one spouse.

Polygamy. Illegal in the US but practiced here by some.

The typical term is "polygamy."
"Polygamy" literally breaks down into "many marriages."
"Ploygyny" would be more accurate ("many women"), but whatever!
"Polyandry" means "many men" or "many husbands," not that anyone cares about that but me. :-)

A polygamist (or better yet a crazy man)!
