Polygamy means having multiple spouses at the same time. It makes sense to any tribal culture because it functions as part of the social welfare system. When women are marginalized or considered helpess, honorable men could marry them, even when they are already married, if they have the means to do so. Such men could provide for them and help protect them from the less than honorable men.

Is there polygamy in Michigan since the laws were changed?

Polygamy is illegal in all 50 states. This is a national federal law - no state may legalize polygamy. However, that does not mean that people in Michigan do not practice polygamy (Just like speed limits don't keep people from speeding). Those who do practice polygamy must keep it secret to avoid being caught by the authorities.
