polygamy

Some reports said they had converted to Islam, which allows polygamy, to marry - a claim Dharmendra later denied.

Overall, the differences were smallest in monogamous species, while polygamy and pronounced size differences were associated with a more pronounced advantage for females.

While the couple are currently focused on their new life together, both are willing to embrace polygamy should the right opportunity present itself in the future.

Prof Mazibuko explained that polygamy was not initially part of Zulu culture, in fact the first two kings were bachelors.

The DNA also revealed polygamy and “levirate unions,” in which closely related males—brothers, or a father and son—had children with the same woman.
