Jewish people when did polygamy become wrong?

Answer 1

their was a Rabbinic edict by a man named Rabbeinu Gershom around 980. This though was only in effect for Ashkenazim (European) Jews.

Jews that lived in the Middle East have never put a ban on Polygamy due to the fact that it was legal in those countries.
