Polyandry, form of marriage in which a woman has more than one husband or mate at the same time. Two principal forms of polyandry exist today. Among the Nair people, who inhabit India's Malabar Coast, a woman may marry several men of equal or superior rank. In areas of Tibet, a woman may marry the eldest brother of a family and then also take his brothers as mates. In most countries, polyandry is illegal.

You're right, Jizz. I'd never heard of this before in humans, only in the animal world a couple of times.
But, I think my point is still reasonable- polyandry is VERY rare and polygyny is still the most practiced form of polygamy and historically always has been. I read somewhere that it's on the up swing, too.
I don't think monogamy should be the only option and I def don't think bigamy should be illegal. Let people sort out their sex lives how they want!
