"Writing Challenge: Root Words"

Poly: (Many)

Polygamy means a system of marriage whereby one person has more than one spouse. Polygamy can be of two types. One is polygene where a man marries more than one woman, and the other is polyandry, where a woman marries more than one man. In Islam, limited polygene is permitted; whereas polyandry is completely prohibited.  Mostly, in societies other than Muslims' a polygamist (a Muslim) is unacceptable. It is allowed being a polygamous if one can keep justification in fulfilling the rights of his more than one wives, if it is not possible then he must marry only one woman.

  • Is there any country/ religion/ species having polyandry system, now a days?

    good information.

  • That's very encouraging Tara.  I'm really motivated!

  • Excellent! Learning affixes is just as important as roots! Thanks for this very useful writing model!

  • Nice participation in writing challenge.

  • Nice writing, though. Keep it up!

  • I myself doubted it, too while clicking the submit button, then I let it go.

    Thanks for clarification.

  • "Poly" sounds like a prefix rather than a root word - just like "multi-".
