I don't entirely agree with the definition of polygamy here. It's true that it's a legal term, but the fact that most people who officially adopt it are religious polygynists is a cultural fluke. The fact is, if you're a poly woman living with two guys, one is your legal husband, and you've had a non-legal marriage ceremony with the other guy, and you all live together, y'all are as polygamous as any Fundamentalist Mormon.
