Interesting; thanks for the information. However, note that you mentioned Quebec stayed mostly monogamous over the long term. In America, we're already seeing that this is not the case. Society at large seems to be following the trends best exhibited by dating sites: top 80% women competing for top 20% men, and bottom 80% of men competing for bottom 20% of women. Combine this with the fact that in a few years women will have 70% or so of the masters' degrees, and this will further draw them to that 20-30% of men. Such a situation leads to a lot of very angry incels, which is a recipe for societal destabilization. The typical solution has been a war to kill of a bunch of those, unless a plague did it first.
Personally, I think the government ought not to enforce religion or morality. However, it can be very important for society to do so.
