No that's not true. Polygamy when widely practiced in society drives down the age of married women creates too many single men. It's a quantifiable hazard to modern society not to mention a moral and cultural blemish to the way we live. It's a strain on public services and costs you unfairly.
Burqa's harm you in no way. Socially, it's much more believable when a woman of any age chooses to wear a burqa than when a 16 year old agrees to marry a 55 year old.
