The term "polygamy" appears in literature as a multifaceted symbol—a neutral descriptor, a marker of cultural practices, and at times a vehicle for moral and social critique. In some works it is presented without overt judgment, as seen in scholarly or historical accounts that note its presence or absence in religious texts ([1], [2], [3], [4]). Yet other authors use the term to underline perceived moral decay or to signal a deterioration of societal values, as when it is linked to infidelity, degradation, or even racial decline ([5], [6], [7]). Moreover, in travel writings and historical narratives, polygamy is often used to describe the customs of diverse cultures—from the chiefs of Southeast Asia to the tribes of southern India ([8], [9], [10]), while in literary works like Joyce’s succinct mention in Ulysses, it appears almost as a standalone motif with layered implications ([11]). Across these examples, polygamy serves not only as a descriptive term but also as a lens through which broader debates about morality, gender roles, and social regulation are explored ([12], [13]).
