Ain't gonna happen, since perspirate is considered rare or archaic.

Polygamy only refers to males with multiple wives. Polyandry is its female counterpart. The correct term for one with multiple spouses is polygynist. So that should be accepted at the very least. Sorry. Annoying anthropology student.

Sorry, Meghan16. A polygynist has multiple wives. Polygamist is the generic term for someone with multiple spouses. The Quizmaster's right this time.
