    O RLY?

    An address by Bhishma to King Yudhishthira in the Mahabharata, succinctly endorses this fact: "A Brahmana can take three wives. A Kshatriya can take two wives. As regards the Vaishya, he should take a wife from only his own order. The children born of these wives should be regarded as equal."​

    There's no argument that historically the rich and powerful have taken more than one wife.

    The argument is whether or not it's a moral or ethical thing to do.

    This Bhishma is a god or hero or saintly figure in Hinduism so he can't be preaching immorality.
