No. They may mate for a season, but not for life. If a highly desirable mate is found and it dies, they are known to commit suicideNo. They are like chickens, the peacock will often battle another peacock for a harem of peahens . They are not at all monogamous. The peahen is solely responsible for setting on, hatching and rising her peachicks which look very similar to baby turkey poults. Someone posted here that if the peacock does not find a mate he will commit suicide that is not at all true. I raise peafowl.

Pheasants are a large kind of bird. They do not mate for life but instead, the male will mate with many different females.
