TLDR: regions and countries with polygyny actually have higher marriage rates for men in general. This is due to 1. Marriage being a huge societal expectation for everyone. 2. Men are marrying a rapidly growing population of younger women (this works if the next generation is larger than the previous one). 3. In polygynous regions, men have far lower life expectancies than women, balancing out the gender skew.
Sure, correlation does not equal causation. But I always find it intriguing when actual data contradicts "common sense" logic.
