Tom Wright, Scriptural Authority, and Monogamy

Is polygamy in the bible prescriptive? Deut 21:15-17 does seem to be a bit of a problem: Tom Wright, Scriptural Authority, and Monogamy | Jesus Creed:
Third, the NT is stricter at times the OT — and this undercuts the argument that the OT was law and the NT grace and soft.

Why? That’s his fourth point, and it’s the critical one: the project of God in God’s mission for the world is to restore creation into new creation, and the original creation was the marriage of one man and one woman.
