Well, I don't know. But I do know that polygamy has existed since forever, and that there have been many stable and long-lasting civilizations that practiced polygamy, whereas there have never, ever been any successful cultures that practiced polyandry.
I presume the reason for this is that men and women are radically and fundamentally different from each other.
I apologize if my earlier response seemed aggressive, but the subject of polygamy really “grinds my gears”.
Believe me, women are just as jealous as men:)
Honestly, I would rather be poverty stricken and living on the streets than to be trapped in a polygamous marriage. Having no husband would be better than to have only part of a husband.
Thank goodness that I didn’t live in Old Testament times. Women’s lives were absolutely miserable.
