I Have An Interesting Question

Someone posted something about polygamy, and it got me to thinking. In polygamist families, why do you never hear about or see one female with multiple husbands? It's always the other way around. Is there a religious reason for this?

It was more of the ability for multiple women to breed so there would be enough workers in an agricultural society. Most religions allowed one wife but numerous concubines.

@SageWanderer Why do you think people subscribe to polygamy nowadays?

@Faithless I have no idea except egos. One wife to love and cherish is enough for me.
