Polygamy challenges established monogamous norms, prompting inquiries into their implications for human rights and psychological well-being. This paper investigates how polygyny may infringe upon women's rights,and it highlights the religious and customary norms approach to polygamy with strict requirements. The research addresses mounting concerns about socio-economic disparities and gender equality by examining legal prohibitions and escalating restrictions surrounding polygyny,by employing a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate the dual dimensions of polygyny. The first section critically examines international human rights instruments, particularly their position on polygyny, emphasizing women's rights. The following section explores the psychological effects of polygyny, assessing its impact on diverse aspects of individuals' lives. Key findings reveal a pressing need to harmonize cultural practices with human rights standards, safeguarding the dignity and equality of all individuals. Unveiling a rich tapestry of emotions and dynamics within polygamous relationships, the study explores jealousy, competition, power struggles, and self-esteem issues, shedding light on the intricate psychology at play within these unions.

Health can influence eating habits and mental and social well-being. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the relationship between healthy lifestyle and stress among 184 university students using the Simple Lifestyle Indicator Questionnaire (SLIQ) and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Score-42 (DASS-42) to measure their emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. The results indicated that 78. 8% were categorized as having an unhealthy lifestyle and 21. 2% an intermediate lifestyle. Based on the SLIQ stress domain, 56. 7% are stressed. Based on the DASS score, 43. 3 have anxiety. There was a statistically significant difference in healthy lifestyle scores between various types of residences (F=3. 929, p<0. 05). The conclusion is that students with poor lifestyles have higher anxiety, depression, and stress. This study implies that universities should provide healthy activities to encourage healthy lifestyle practices by students.

Objective: Adolescence, a period of instability and significant changes, sees engagement in health behaviors as pivotal for enhanced health and longevity. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the connection between health literacy and health behaviors, striving to gauge the multifaceted impact of health literacy and educational aspects on health behaviors. Method: This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 1402 and focused on adolescents aged 12 to 20 in the Semnan province. The sample consisted of 382 adolescents from Semnan and Mehdi City. Utilizing Kanbari's Health Literacy assessment and Walker's Health-Promoting Behaviors Inventory (HPLP), data were collected and analyzed using Pearson and simple linear regression, independent t-test, and SPSS-24 software. Results: Independent t-test analysis for gender groups showed a significant difference in health behaviors between boys and girls (t351 =-2. 14, P = 0. 033 two-tailed). Components like interpersonal support (t345 =-2. 488, P = 0. 013 two-tailed) and exercise (t341 =-4. 68, P = 0. 001 two-tailed) also demonstrated substantial disparities. Boys scored higher on all dimensions of health behavior compared to girls and exhibited significantly greater self-efficacy in the health literacy domain (t380 =-2. 63, P = 0. 009 two-tailed). The relationship between health literacy components and health behaviors displayed the highest predictability for health behaviors (r = 0. 417, P = 0. 001). A moderate positive correlation emerged between health literacy and health behaviors (p < 0. 001, r = 0. 583), with health literacy accounting for 34% of health behaviors (d = 0. 51, p = 0. 001, R2 = 0. 34). Conclusion: Elevating health literacy through education can play a significant role in enhancing health behaviors among adolescents, laying a strong foundation for future community health.
