While the relationship between polygyny and fertility has drawn the attention of many demographers, little research has been done on the polygyny-divorce relationship. Using data from the Nigeria Fertility Survey of 1981/82 and proportional hazard models, this paper estimates the effect of polygyny on the stability of first unions. The results indicate that a simple dichotomy of polygynous and monogamous unions may be misleading. Two-wife unions are the most stable whereas unions with three or more wives are associated with the highest rates of marital disruption. These effects are independent of childlessness, marriage duration, and other factors.
