Group of wives (5)
I believe the answer is:
harem
'group of wives' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for harem that I've seen before include "Where many wives" , "Group of wives" , "Living quarters for wives and concubines" , "Women's quarters in a Muslim house" , "Group of female partners" .)
