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.
No objections myself if it is consenting adults. The examples we sometimes see on, for instance, a TV documentary, always leave me wondering what happens to the young males in the community who cannot find a mate because all the alpha males have got several. Surely they would have to leave and the result would be a community of older men, each with lots of wives, and children. Can that work ?
Notwithstanding the example from Shrike1978 of a MFM arrangment, all the examples we see, and what most people imagine when they consider polygamy is men with lots of wives. A wife who had lots of husbands may not work so well (although I'm prepared to be corrected on that).
