polygyny - more Muslim men remain unmarried

What is it about?

We demonstrate, that presumably due polygyny, young Muslim men may face the problem to find wife (if some men have more than one wife, some men must remain without a wife). Accordingly a high proportion of young Muslim men seem to remain unmarried and therefore probably setting societies under pressure, as it is known that a high proportion of unmarried young men is associated with increasing violence, destabilization and migration.

Why is it important?

Our finding may explain, at least partly, the increasing violence in some Muslim countries as well as the ongoing (often male dominated) migration from Muslim countries, that is setting neighboring countries as well as Europe under pressure.
