Polygamy

Polygamy (from Late Greek πολυγαμία, polygamía, “state of marriage to many spouses”) is the practice of marrying multiple spouses. When a man is married to more than one wife at a time, sociologists call this polygyny. When a woman is married to more than one husband at a time, it is called polyandry. If a marriage includes multiple husbands and wives, it can be called a group marriage.

If you tell me a person cannot have multiple Twin Flames because you do not believe in more than one, I trust you will never argue with an atheist who tells you God doesn’t exist because he doesn’t believe in him.
