Although a society may be classified as polygynous, not all marriages in it necessarily are; monogamous marriages may in fact predominate. It is to this flexibility that Anthropologist [[Robin Fox]] attributes its success as a social support system: "This has often meant – given the imbalance in the sex ratios, the higher male infant mortality, the shorter life span of males, the loss of males in wartime, etc. – that often women were left without financial support from husbands. To correct this condition, females had to be killed at birth, remain single, become prostitutes, or be siphoned off into celibate religious orders. Polygynous systems have the advantage that they can promise, as did the Mormons, a home and family for every woman."<ref>{{cite book|last=Fox|first=Robin|title=Reproduction & Succession: Studies in Anthropology, Law, and Society|year=1997|publisher=Transaction Publishers|location=New Brunswick, NJ|page=48}}</ref>
 
Kvankam socio povas esti klasita kiel poliginia, ne ĉiuj geedzecoj en ĝi necese estas; monogamaj geedzecoj povas fakte hegemonii. Pro tia fleksebleco antropologo [[Robin Fox]] atribuas sian sukceson kiel socia eltensistemo: "Tio ofte signifis – konsiderinte la malekvilibron en la seksaj proporcioj, la pli altan masklan infanmortindicon, la pli mallongan vivodaŭron de maskloj, la perdon de maskloj en [[milito]], ktp. – ke ofte virinoj estis lasitaj sen financa elteno el edzoj. Por korekti tiun kondiĉon, inoj devis esti mortigitaj dumnaske, resti solaj, iĝi prostitutinoj, aŭ esti enfermitaj en fraŭlaj religiaj ordenoj. Poliginiaj sistemoj havas la avantaĝon ke ili povas promesi, kiel faras Mormonoj, hejmon kaj familion por ĉiu virino."<ref>{{cite book|last=Fox|first=Robin|title=Reproduction & Succession: Studies in Anthropology, Law, and Society|year=1997|publisher=Transaction Publishers|location=New Brunswick, NJ|page=48}}</ref>

Nonetheless, polygyny is a gender issue which offers men asymmetrical benefits. In some cases, there is a large age discrepancy (as much as a generation) between a man and his youngest wife, compounding the power differential between the two. Tensions not only exist ''between'' genders, but also ''within'' genders; senior and junior men compete for wives, and senior and junior wives in the same household may experience radically different life conditions, and internal hierarchy. Several studies have suggested that the wive's relationship with other women, including co-wives and husband's female kin, are more critical relationships than that with her husband for her productive, reproductive and personal achievement.<ref>{{cite book|last=Zeitzen|first=Miriam Koktvedgaard|title=Polygamy: A Cross-Cultural Analysis|year=2008|publisher=Berg|location=Oxford|pages=125–7}}</ref> In some societies, the co-wives are relatives, usually sisters, a practice called ''sororal polygyny''; the pre-existing relationship between the co-wives is thought to decrease potential tensions within the marriage.<ref name="Zeitzen 2008 9">{{cite book|last=Zeitzen|first=Miriam Koktvedgaard|title=Polygamy: A Cross-Cultural Analysis|year=2008|publisher=Berg|location=Oxford|page=9}}</ref>
