Polygyny occurs when a man is married to multiple partners at one time. It is an act that alters the family
structure and has been known to affect the lived experiences of all family members involved. The purpose of
the study was to explore the immediate and long-term and lasting effects of polygyny on the interpersonal and
social relationships of children from polygamous families. A sample of six participants between the age range
of 24 and 30 years, was recruited (3 men and 3 women). The impact of polygyny on the social and interpersonal
relations of the participants was explored using semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed using
interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The participants described the immediate and long-term effect
that polygamy had on their relations with their immediate family, step-family and romantic and social relations.
The results of the study indicated that the experience of polygamous households were underlined with negative
experiences such as disintegration of the family unit, a sense of deprivation and social, economic and
educational constraints. These factors in turn affected the participants’ relationships with their immediate and
step families, and marital relationships. It was concluded that polygamy has an adverse impact of the
interpersonal relations of individuals and lead to discord and maladjustment in their social and romantic lives.
