All of the following are a form of polygamy EXCEPT
 
  A. a man who marries, then divorces, then marries again, then divorces again, then marries again, each time to a different woman.
  B. a man who has four wives simultaneously.
  C. a woman who has three husbands, all of whom are brothers.
  D. a man who has three wives, all of whom are sisters.
  E. a woman who has two unrelated husbands.

Question 2

In South Sudan, a Nuer woman can marry a woman if her father has only daughters but no male heirs. This is done to maintain the patrilineage. The wife has sex with one or more men until she gets pregnant. The children born are then accepted as the offspring of both the female husband and the wife. What is important in this example is
 
  A. the fact that only same-sex marriages are recognized in patrilineal societies.
  B. social rather than biological paternity, again illustrating how kinship is socially constructed.
  C. how biology overrides culture regardless of human intentions.
  D. how often marriage is simply about property.
  E. that it illustrates how romantic love is both universal and complicated.
