Polygamy in Hinduism In Theory and Practice Polygamy and polyandry were prevalent In ancient India, but it is doubtful whether they were ever popular in the public opinion. It was practiced mostly by the warrior castes and rich merchants. Polygamy in ancient India was a matter of personal choice, status symbol and at times social, moral and religious obligation. Marriage in traditional Hinduism was meant for progeny and carrying out obligatory duties (dharmakaryam) in accordance of a person's dharma so that the four major aims (purusharthas) of human life could be realized. If polygamy served these ideals, the Hindu law books did not object to its practice.Â
