I don't support it. I also don't support that government should have no role in enforcing guiding principles of humanity.
Here is why. First, I think there should exist jealous selfish type love in a relationship, that a man should want the woman for himself, and vice versa, the woman should want the man for herself. Children should also want their parents to have such type love towards each other. This type of love is foundational for family structure. But aside from that, it's higher type love, that makes the person you are in love more appreciated of themselves and of their partner. I think this a foundational of family, and children should grow up in that type of family.
Another problem is that if polygamy becomes a norm (majority type marriages), a huge amount of people that will be single. If polyandry becomes the norm (majority type marriage), then again, same problem.
And if becomes legislated, it has potential of become popular, in that, it would be an alternative solution to cheating. A person cheats, is caught, then states, it's legislated, why not stay together and invite that person into the "family" structure.
I think generations have a duty to protect future generations by putting red lines. If you want to push those red lines it's going to have to be a struggle.
I'm on the side of the "moral" enforcement here, want to protect the children from thinking we ok with it. If a generation will ever go against the norm we have now, it won't simply be do the fact, we simply allowed it in the name of "freedom". It will have to be something they struggled for and sincerely believed in and convinced the majority.
