sister-wives
Shared husband's wives
Sister-wives are women married to the same man in a polygamous marriage, making them co-wives to each other.
The term emphasizes their relationship to one another rather than to their shared husband: The sister-wives divided household duties among themselves.
The word gained wider recognition through reality television depicting polygamist families.
