Bigamy and polygamy are prohibited by Hindu law, as is taking another spouse while remaining lawfully married to another person. If the offended spouse makes a complaint, the offender will be penalized. Polygamy refers to having various spouses, while in a situation where a male has multiple wives, such a practice would be called polygyny.
