So why am I not permitted 1 wife and 5 husbands in any nation?
Social order seems an unlikely motivation against its prohibition given the many things we allow that disturb the social order.
I can cohabit with a thousand men and women and spend all day making pornography and selling alcohol and printing subversive political tracts and blaspheming all religions and all kinds of other order-disturbing stuff.
But I can't marry two people of any gender.
Doesn't add up. Smells like religious influence.
