I don't understand your simple point is because you keep changing your story. Now you have introduced stable family structure. Again, how does this apply to the Muslims? As far as I can see, they have a stable family structure.
The number of wives does not change the stable family structure. You have a hen pecked husband picked on by one wife or 4 wives.
And with the western societies reaching divorce rates of nearly 40%, where if the stable family structure that you are referring to? Oh sorry, I forgot, it is the gays and women who are emasculating us and hence we are not stable any more.
Answer Copper's points. And mine also. What religions prohibit polygamy.

Christianity prohibits polygamy and Islam condones or promotes it. What point are you trying to make?
Thus polygamy became illegal in India in 1956, uniformly for all of its citizens except for Muslims, who are permitted to have four wives and for Hindus in Goa where bigamy is legal. A polygamous Hindu marriage is null and void.
