Introduction

Polygamy is defined as "The condition or practice of having more than one spouse at one time". In the past polygamy has been practiced in many major religions, including Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, and Christianity. Whilst it is now both illegal and forbidden in many countries and religion, polygamy does still exist. This blog will focus on modern day polygamy and how it is view by cultures throughout the world. I chose the topic of polygamy because of the increased interest in the topic over the past couple of years due to television shows such as 'Big Love' and 'Sister Wives'. This topic is very interesting to me and i look forward to exploring it further.
