no, a group marriage as i meant it is multiple spouses of both genders in a single open relationship, as opposed to say, 1 husband 5 wives
Correct polygamy. To review:
Polygyny: a state of marriage consisting of one husband with multiple wives.
Polyandry: a state of marriage consisting of one wife with multiple husbands.
Polygamy: a state of marriage consisting of multiple spouses, of which there can be any number or both genders.
All polygyny is polygamy, but not all polygamy is polygyny
All polyandry is polygamy, but not all polygamy is polyandry
Additionally there is polyamory, a recently coined term that refers to holding multiple relationships, at the same time, which may or may not involve marriage. All polygamy is polyamory, but not all polyamory is polygamy
Thus a group marriage is polygamy.
