How many wives does Jesus allow?

Matthew 19:1-6

1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Only 1. The first Adam only had 1 wife, the second Adam only has 1 Bride. Only 1 Temple (Groom), only 1 City (Bride). First Adam shed his blood to bring forth his wife from his own body, second Adam shed his blood to bring forth his Bride from his own Body.

So Jesus allowed a perversion of his divorce law. What does that have to do with God favoring those with many wives as was the case with most Jewish patriarchs?

If he allowed one perversion of law, we can assume that he would allow for many.
