That's absolutely untrue, and you should know better. Marriage and hand-fastings--both monogamous and polygamous--were around in various cultures, including Pagan and Hebrew cultures, long before Christianity ever arose. After all, weren't Joseph and Mary married? And the religion of Christianity didn't come about until AFTER their son Jesus lived his life. Christianity has no more exclusive claim to marriage than it has to the concept of not killing others. In fact, the Catholic Church didn't even get involved with marriages until around the 9th Century. Learn some history.
