The laws of the past are a reflection of what men in that time wanted.
There is a clear rule of monogamy as it was used to stop all the polygamy that was taking place at the time.
At that time one man usually the richest men would have multiple wives, this resulted in the men at the bottom being left with no woman. It's very similar to today's society.
The men at that time enforced monogamy and managed to outlaw polygamy, this provided almost every man with a woman.
The same can be said about hypergamy. It was the law that a woman must be faithful and stay married to the same man until death. This stoped woman from switching partners and it kept families together.
Men in the past have managed to fix their situation but I fear that we cannot fix our current society, especially with all the rights and power given to woman. Woman will never relinquish their newfound power.
