Asking this as a Qatari with a polygamous father. My father’s second wife is Swedish and I know it was a tough pill to swallow for her family and friends back home.

    Polygamy is oppression, as the women don’t have a choice or agency in the relationship.

    Polyamory, however, when done ethically, means all parties consent and can leave or modify their relationship with their partner.

      They mean the same thing, this is the same kind of stupid discourse of bisexual vs pansexual.
