Polygamy specifically refers to a man having more than one wife. There is a word for women having more than one husband, but I'm not sure what it is.
Polyamory is being in love with more than one person, poly=many (greek) and amore=love (latin).

polygamy is having more than one wife, in some cases there is love in that type of relationship but many can get ugly because of jealousy because that women cannot leave her husband in some cultures.

That's correct, but I'm told the more accurate word is "polyamory". Google both, but include the word "dictionary" in the search window to get a full explanation and definition.
