Legal Definitions - serial polygamy

Serial polygamy is the practice of having more than one spouse during one's lifetime, but not at the same time. This means that a person can have multiple marriages, but only one at a time. It is also known as successive polygamy or sequential marriage.

For example, if a person gets divorced and then remarries, and then gets divorced again and remarries again, they are practicing serial polygamy. This is different from simultaneous polygamy, which is when a person has multiple spouses at the same time.

Serial polygamy is not illegal in most countries, but it is not widely accepted in many cultures. In some cases, it may be seen as a form of infidelity or a lack of commitment to one's partner.
