Will this one-by-one system forever be our main thing or do you think we will break monogamy and maybe "team up" as groups or something?

And yeah polygamy is a thing but do you think it will catch on to "the upper class"?

    Monogamy has never been the main thing. However, with the equalizing of sexes in marriage according to the law, I don't see how anything but monogamy can be legally until a lot of work is put into defining how three equal people can be married.

    A form of polygamy is available to the upper class; it is called having a mistress. However, the mistress has no marriage rights; any rights would come from being the parent of a joint child.
