Adultery is a sexual union which takes place outside of the legal protection of a marriage covenant, where one of the parties already has a valid marriage covenant. Polygyny establishes simultaneous marriage covenants, which protects the union of a man with two (or more) different women. As we saw above, polygyny| (under the older legal standard) could never be labeled as "adultery", because all the parties were legally protected under valid marriage covenants.
