quote [ Plural marriage, bred of inequality, begets violence
This is one of the reasons why the Arab Spring erupted, why the jihadists of Boko Haram and Islamic State were able to conquer swathes of Nigeria, Iraq and Syria, and why the polygamous parts of Indonesia and Haiti are so turbulent. Polygamous societies are bloodier, more likely to invade their neighbours and more prone to collapse than others are. ] It's another version of economic inequality.
There's a successful US reality tv show about polygamy, and we know what reality tv can lead to.

Not following your logic - China has a M:F ratio of 1.06 (or 1.14 for ages 15-24), not 0.25.
Interestingly, Qatar and the UAE are the worst by far:

The countries with the most women, proportionally, are the US Virgin Islands and Djibouti (just looking at ages 15-54, as men die off younger skewing the ratio in older populations). There's no country where women outnumber men in anywhere near the kind of lopsided ratio you see in Qatar.
