Is it the norm, and worthy of defense, for a man to marry multiple teenage girls, while being married to many older (some married) women?

Was this just normal behavior for that time period?

I don’t think polygamy has ever been “normal”, certainly not in this country.

The topic was the age of marriage, which I also can’t say what is “norm”, which is why I said I didn’t know what the norm was, just that it wasn’t non-existant for younger marriages.
