The Word of God teaches us that monogamy has been the order since the beginning of the law of Christ. Just because there are more women than men in the world does not permit polygamy. Many use the ratio of women to men and the Old Testament as basis for marrying more than one but that is not right. Divorce is permissible only when a life partner has committed adultery. Even then, none of the two should be married to a new partner while both are yet alive (Matthew 5:31-32; Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18; Romans 7:2-3; Malachi 2:13-16; Genesis 2:18; Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 7:10-11).
