Reply To: Sampling Bias (in Royal Marriage Statistics)

So a woman today should not necessarily expect a husband’s fidelity and this behavior would be kasher v’yashar; am I understanding this properly?

No, you are not. A wife has every right to expect her husband’s fidelity.

In the age of monogamy, a wife has every right to expect that her husband will not take another wife (mistress, concubine, etc.).

Even in the age of polygyny, she could stipulate upon marriage that he cannot take any additional wives without her consent.
