It was only ok to have more than one wife if she had less than 20 toes. Then your other wife... or other two or three... etc. wives would add it up to 20. The rules are you can be married to 20 toes. == Because society said it was. People make the rules, and they can change them. Societies develop due to what works for them. In the ancient past, women were far more likely to die in childbirth than they are today. Having more than one wife would provide the society with more chances of gaining new members and surviving. If one wife died and left children behind, they could be raised by the other wives. This type of polygamy was based on survival techniques for the tribe, not on moral values or love.
