A society in which the "family system" is similar to those of lions or monkeys

I envisioned a world where people are not bounded by marriage and females are free to choose those who they deem "accomplished" and have offspring with him.

The males "occasionally" interact with the young and "educate" them to be better than the others, therefore make sure their genes are passed onward, much like lions or monkeys in our world act.

The only problem is my race is "highly intelligent" and have a strong sense of "moral".

And here comes the REAL problem:

The "less accomplished males" will definitely grow jealous and envious!

NOBODY will accept the fate that he is inferior than the others and just die, ESPECIALLY when he is "intelligent"!

And the long period of "lacking female companion" (plus jealousy and envy) will definitely twist your mind and commit unspeakable crimes such as rape or murder.

And that is "most of the society"!

So if this kind of system was practiced for too long, bad things are bound to happen!

So is there any ways to prevent this sort of things from happening!? In other words how does this society "keep everybody happy"!?
