Mononormativity or mono-normativity is the normative assumption that monogamy is healthier or more natural than ethical non-monogamy, as well as the societal enforcement of such an assumption.[1] It has been widely tied to various forms of discrimination or bias against polyamory.[2][3]
The term is also used to instead describe monosexual normativity, akin to monosexism.[4]
