You don't just "have many redundant wives". It starts out roughly 50/50 from birth no matter what you do.

You either have more women by having a lot of single men, or a lot of dead men, or by taking women from other places.

Yes I mentioned that earlier in the thread. Polygyny = some men have many wives, others have none.
