"Beyond this the marriage laws of different nations may differ in their details. But the God of the Universe universally forbids polyandry — the combination of a woman with more than one man.
This prohibition reflects our species' nature. A man needs his mate to be exclusive to him; most women, apparently, can at least function if their mates are only devoted to them. Local cultural expectations aside, it follows that polygamy — meaning in this case polygyny, the combination of a man with more than one (eligible) woman, in or out of a marriage relationship — is not universally forbidden." (Dallen, 2003, pp. 167-168)
