In this study, we aimed to determine the different sociodemographic variables of polygamous and monogamous wives, and the relationship between depression and polygamous marriage. Seventy-nine polygamous wives and 73 monogamous wives from Kahramanmaras, located in southern Turkey, were interviewed. After reviewing the data, we suggest that there is a statistically significant difference between polygamous wives and monogamous wives in terms of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores. The results highlighted many implications for clinical practice and for future research. Additional research needs to be conducted in order to investigate the effects of polygamy on women's mental health.
在本研究中，我们旨在确定一夫多妻制和一夫一妻制妻子的不同社会人口学变量，以及抑郁症与一夫多妻制婚姻之间的关系。我们对来自土耳其南部卡赫拉曼马拉什的79名一夫多妻制妻子和73名一夫一妻制妻子进行了访谈。在审查数据后，我们认为，一夫多妻制妻子和一夫一妻制妻子在贝克抑郁量表（BDI）得分方面存在统计学上的显著差异。研究结果突出了对临床实践和未来研究的许多启示。为了调查一夫多妻制对女性心理健康的影响，还需要进行更多的研究。
