I'm not in favor of the practice, but I seek the words for the purpose of bad prose and the translations of even worse one liners.

I would suppose duedzineco would work for bigamy and pliedzineco for polygamy, but I don't know if I would be understood if I used that construction. Is there an existing convention?

According to the CEED, "bigamy" is "bigamio", and "polygamy" is "poligamio".

Likewise Wells. And both bigamio and poligamio are in PIV 2005.
That said, Werechick's construction seems logical to me, and E-o is supposed to let us form compound words that way.

multedzineco for polygamy.
But bigamio and poligamio are better.

multedzinhavulo or multedzinulo or poligamiulo for man, who has many wifes.

I would perhaps suggest pluredzeco. I will check the PIV as soon as I get home.

In Tibetio, a woman can have many men (polyandrie) : multedzeco, pluredzeco ?
These words are more precise.

pluredzineco
pluredzeco is having some husbands (polyandry?)

Revo:kromedzino

En pluredzina moro ĉiu plia edzino, kun malpli alta oficiala rango ol la unua edzino
In polygamy every next wife after the first one.

According to my dictionary, polygamy is defined as such:

"the practice or condition of having more than one spouse, esp. wife, at one time."

Therefore I think pluredzeco is still valid (I read it as "plural-marriage-related-entity-quality", not as "plural-husband-quality").

The word "gamos" means "marriage".

Polygamy is having multiple (more than two) spouses. It is the generic term; it doesn't matter whether it's multiple husbands or multiple wives.

polyandry is when a woman has multiple husbands
(poly = many, andros = male)

polygyny is when a man has multiple wives
(poly = many, gyno = female)

and polygynandry is a whole group of mates
