‘Well, perhaps if duogamy had been the custom, she would have looked out for one,’ said Amoret, ‘most married women could find one alternative, I’m sure. But, any way, no plan is perfect, and there are lots of wives who wouldn’t want a second husband at all, and who would be only too glad of a restful period, when no dinners need be ordered.
But Amoret has truly called this problem ‘the cul-de-sac of all reforms.’ Any system, whatever its form, whether leasehold marriage, free love, polygamy, polyandry, or duogamy any scheme that tends to confuse the fatherhood of the child, or deprive the child of the solid advantages of a permanent home is hopeless from the start.
The family consists of the husband, one or more wives, and their children. I do not know what limit tribal law places to the number of wives the Florida Indian may have, but certainly he may possess two. There are several Seminole families in which duogamy exists. Courtship.
Of the characteristics of the gentes of the Florida Seminole, I know only that a man may not marry a woman of his own clan, that the children belong exclusively to the mother, and that by birth they are members of her own gens. So far as duogamy prevails now among the Florida Indians, I observed that both the wives, in every case, were members of one gens.

Now let’s have your gorgeous idea, Amoret.’ ‘It’s just this,’ said Amoret. ‘Duogamy.’ ‘Duo two?’ ‘Exactly two partners apiece. We’re all so complex nowadays that one can’t possibly satisfy us. Two would just do it.
