Harem (household)


 

In traditional Arab culture, the harîm حريم (cf. haram) is the part of the household forbidden to male strangers. In English, this term refers collectively to the wives in a polygynous household as well as the "no-males allowed" area. Another English definition for this term that is more modern in its usage is that of a number of women followers or admirers.
