monogyny|məˈnɒdʒɪnɪ|
[f. mono- + Gr. γυνή woman, wife.]
The practice of mating with only one female, or of marrying only one wife. (Corresp. to monandry.)
1876H. Spencer Princ. Sociol. (1877) I. 698 Monogyny does not fully express the union of one man with one woman..since the feminine unity is alone indicated by it... Hence monogamy, expressing the singleness of the marriage, may be fitly retained. |
