Fair enough.

I was just looking for an easy way to frame the taboo of polygamy in order to make the joke work.
I’ll try to be more historically accurate in the future.

A large percentage of the young men will be shut out of the marriage market. Islam sought to solve this through jihad, which killed off huge numbers of surplus men, and also gave sanction to the stealing of women from the victims of conquest. And mass sex slavery.

Raiding other tribes for their women was a near universal practice.

The book of Judges relates how the Israelites permitted the surviving Benjaminites to raid their daughters to survive as a tribe. (They couldn't give their permission, because of a past vow, so they decided to look the other way and pretend not to see.)

And that is not an extreme anomaly in the whole of the U.S.?
Much less the world of 9 billion people?

Even amongst the minority of Mormons who practice polygamy that family/town is an extreme.
