My $0.02 on the subject, I am not a fan of the polygamous marriages which are allowed by the Islamic religion. Since that often leads to the oppression of women. However I cant think of any moral objection to legally recognizing multiple partner, so long as it is between mutually consenting adults.
Have you ever heard of the FLDS? It's literally an article of faith that a man cannot get into heaven without at least three wives, even though, even if you accept Joseph Smith's teachings as authoritiative, even he admitted that polygamy was only for a select few.
That said, I don't see any real objection to polygamy in itself, certainly no reason to ban it.
