There are more women in the world than men.

males tend to have a slight lead to start, then they get themselves bumped off a bit at various ages and usually end up being far outnumbered much later in life.

They probably die in childbirth after having so many children, seriously.

The ratio behind polygamy is typically that marriage is a social contract and unless women are married they will not be provided for. This can for instance make it an obligation for a man to marry his brother's widow.
