AnswerWhy? Nearly all countries in the world limit a man to one woman in marriage, as well as limiting a woman to one man in marriage, yet there is no surplus of either virgin women or virgin men. Moreover, most people today have multiple sexual partners, although usually serially monogamously.

Nature provides a slight surplus of male babies, to allow for the slightly higher Death Rate among male children, so there would normally be no gender imbalance among adults of childbearing age. Only when there is war or infanticide should there be any such imbalance, and both options are moral evils.

As an attempted justification for polygamy or polyandry, the suggestion that one man with one woman in marriage would result in many virgins, is a furphy.
