ABSTRACT:This study was performed to determine social-cultural polygamy-related factors. This is a descriptivecorrelational research. The statistical population of this study included all the polygamous men of Bastak in 2011.
Since there was no formal statistics on these men, 105 individuals were selected randomly from available samples.
This research was performed considering Maslow hierarchy of needs, functionalism and conflict scientific theories,
and using a questionnaire. At first a number of Bastakian polygamous men were interviewed, and then the final
questionnaire of the study, which was consisted of 49 items, was prepared and implemented. The results showed
that there is a significant relationship between men's education, cultural factors and traditional components, and
between judicial factors and justice, the first wife's permission, and terms of the marriage contract components.
Furthermore, the individuals' responses showed that sexual beliefs are effective as a subjective factor.
