We have established the gender and age composition of the respondents as well as the proportions of those that are for and against polygamy and polyandry.
We proceed to establish the relationship between these characteristics and the support for polygamy/polygamy

• There is no statistically significant relationship between gender and support for polygamy/Polyandry
• Similarly, age does not determine whether one supports polygamy or not
• The decision to support polygamy/Polyandry is totally independent of these two variables.
• For these conclusions to hold, we have held variables like income, urbanity/place of residence, level of education etc. constant
• Additional research will need to be carried out with these variables factored in and develop a regression model to better explain polygamy
