Uncivilized? If polygyny is uncivilized then half the Prophet’s mentioned in the Bible are uncivilized. There is nothing in the Bible that discourages polygyny. Monogamy is the biproduct of Roman influence on Christianity.
What are the women in a society to do when women outnumber men? The last US Census said there are 85.6 single men for every 100 single women.
If Western governments cared enough for their citizens they would legalize and promote polygyny because when women outnumber men in a society and polygyny is banned it leads to decadence, corruption, high divorce rates etc. Most married women would never resort to prostitution and pornography and the likes. It is when women outnumber men and polygyny is banned do these evils become manifest in a society, because these women have no other choice.
Serial monogamy is not the solution to your problem, polygyny is.
So if Western gov’ts don’t legalize polygyny what choice is left for these women?
1. Continue to live debauched or lonely lives.
2. Become Muslims and marry polygynously in a honorable manner.
BTW, LDS has also banned polygyny. Only the FLDS allow it and there are only about 10,000 of them in the world. There are about 500 million Shi’ah in the world.
For permanent marriage justice and equality between wives is a requirement. However in fixed-term marriage (Mut’ah) that all depends on the conditions of the marriage contract. Mut’ah is a flexible/customizable marriage contract which can be tailored to fit the needs of almost anybody.
So, lol, if you want women, hey the Muslim world has a surplus. The only catch is you have to become muslim first. Our women usually have no problem with polygyny so long as you follow the rules.
