The simplest answer is it's the difference in legality. I live in a polyamorous relationship termed poly-fidelity. I have my wife and our live in 3rd who has been with us exclusively for several years. But because she cannot legally marry me/us, she is not recognized under the laws of the US as entitled to anything, benefits or rights, that a married woman would normally have.

In Africa where it is legal to have more than one wife, they practice Polygyny when a man legally marries more than one woman.

How many wives can a polygamy have?

It depends on the religion and culture of the polygamist. Muslim polygamists may have up to three wives, but more than that is forbidden by the Qur'an. In other cultures, a man can have as many wives as he wants. In America, since polygamy is illegal, most polygamists have only two wives - a small family is easier to hide from the public and law enforcement.
