"Government mandated gf" is not a fantasy, that's how societies in Europe at least would have likely operated for a while.
A Big Man and his gang come and take over a large area. The Big Man could take everything for himself, but he needs to give his allies enough to reward their loyalty too.
They realized that it's far more stable to basically arrange the marriages of everybody. Each man of merit gets a wife, and if he's very good then he gets some concubines too.
If a warlord does not properly designate where the women of his territory are distributed, then he's not a very competent warlord.
