However, both genders appeared to agree that polygamous relationships can work. When asked whether they thought “people can successfully manage monogamous relationships if they work at it hard enough”, 72pc of men and 73pc of women answered in the affirmative. The survey of 1,714 British adults by recognised pollsters YouGov also quizzed respondents on whether they thought polygamous marriage would be acceptable in 30 years time. 58pc said that it would still be illegal, while only 15pc of people anticipated a change in the law (the other 27pc said they did not know).
