Abraham had 2 wives; Jacob had 4 wives. So polygamy is allowed in the Torah.
The prohibition of polygamy is relatively recent Gershom ben Judah He is most famous for the synod he called around 1000 CE, in which he instituted various laws and bans, including prohibiting polygamy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gershom_ben_Judah |

I don't understand your distinction. Marriage = monogamy = fucking just one person = "the two"
