Possibly but some of the other laws are even more restrictive such as forbidding covetousness, lying in all cases, and theft in all cases.No they wouldn't necessarily. A lot of the Old Testament laws are to do with health reasons, such as not eating shellfish, and being monogamous would be in line with that. Such promiscuousness would also lead to a more unstable society, and a loving family is the best environment for children.
Laws for these considerations could easily come from man alone.
