Is the birth rate connected to the marriage rate?

Asked by DrBill (16066points) July 9th, 2012

The birth rate is very close to 1 male to 1 female (about 49.9% to 50.1%). If the rate was 2 females born for every 1 male (66.6% to 33.3%) do you think every man having two wives would be the normal, and the same if it were reversed, two men for every woman if there were more males born compared to females?

The marriage concept is whatever you see it to be, the question is about partners, not your views on the construct of a marriage contract.
