Abstract: Marriage
is the start point of the family formation among different cultures. One of the
main criterions in this field is the number of wives. This survey is aimed to
explore the factors affecting the polygamy. In this regard, using the
quantitative performance, the economic and social factors relative to being
polygamy of Bashtian men are examined. Data was gathered using some
questionnaires. 200 questionnaires were distributed among the polygamous and
monogamous men and then they were gathered and analyzed. According to the
results, there is a meaningful relationship between polygamy and some factors
including the power of men, the men desire for having more than one wife, the
educational degree, the man job, the illness of first wife and dissatisfaction
from the first wife's family.
