“Men’s instincts tend toward polygamy, women’s toward hypergamy. Hypergamy, for those who don’t know, is women’s congenital inclination to continually trade up in men. The word has Greek origins (hyper meaning ‘above’ and gamos meaning ‘marriage’) and originally referred to women’s tendency to “marry up”, but applies equally to non-matrimonial relationships.

Whereas all men have a natural urge to copulate with a great variety of fertile women (because, in our evolutionary history, such behavior improved our chances of gene proliferation), women have a corresponding biological drive to have relations with the highest quality man they possible can (for the same reason) and to gain exclusive commitment from that man.

Briefly put, men want a lot of women, women want one really great guy.

Men and women’s respective sexual interests are therefore perpetually at odds, and the competition is zero sum in nature; for one sexual strategy to succeed, the other must be thwarted. If women are to fulfill their reproductive goal of getting exclusive commitment from a man, the man cannot simultaneously fulfill his reproductive objective of impregnating a harem and vice versa.

Which of the two strategies prevails has varied throughout history. During certain periods and in certain areas, men were free to indulge their polygamous nature, as indeed they still are in certain contemporary societies.

In the current industrialized world, however, female reproductive interests benefit the most. Polygamy is frowned upon and monogamy is strongly encouraged, while hypergamy is not discouraged.

Women are thus at liberty to fulfill their natural biological imperatives at the expense of men.

The truth is a man wanting to marry multiple women has been on for ages but is presently been frowned upon as being uncivilized. At the same time a woman wanting to look up her class for a potential mate is kind of accepted in various societies and sadly no laws can stop this.

I believe that sums up your question in a literal sense.

Your kind of wisdom and intelligence amazes me.

May you continue to grow in wisdom as you move through the phases of life.

Life is a combination of phases and those phases should be by choice not by intimidation.
I believe by criminalizing polygamy the law is simply intimidating individuals and is tampering on their right to choose.
Both relationship and marriage can't favour women. you can't have your cake and eat it.

Polygamy is a choice as long as the individual involved has the resources to maintain it.

When a man marries a woman in his social class I.e when rich men marry rich women it can be termed hypergamy.
Hypergamy can be traced to India .when hypergamy started in India it favoured the men but as men's choices continued to change over the years everything changed in other parts of the words but hypergamy is more benefitial to Indian men than Indian women today but not so in other parts of the world.
