Human Monogamy- The natural order? Moral?
Most adults can name or know of a personal example of someone having being 'cheated' on. Cheating occurs in every culture and in every part of the world, despite sometimes having terrifying punishments attached to adultery.
My Question is, what is our natural state? Weddings are obviously a man made phenomenon promoting monogamy, and yet, still, so many people stray. Is monogamy a box our species just can't be constrained within?
Where does morality lie in all this?
Would be interesting to hear peoples different opinions on the matter, thanks :)
