The terms that best describe these marriages are:

- Arranged.

- Exogamy.

- Polygamy.

Arranged because the marriage has been orchestrated by the parents of the groom and brides. Polygamy because we're speaking of a marriage where there is one groom to two different brides. Exogamy because the groom is marrying outside the group he belongs to.
