I think the problem isn't exactly the marrying several people together... that should be simple enough, just add several lines under the marrying persons on the document and be done with it.
Nomenclature might be troublesome, but I guess husband and wife would still work decently for any of the male and female individuals, respectively.
The trouble begins when assigning responsibility over any children - should it rest solely on the two biological parents?
What if the biological father is not known? Technology allows DNA testing to solve that, but not all people want that...
Should it rest on the whole household that remains behind as long as there's more than one person?
Alimony?
What if the person leaving the household is the sole money-bringing one?
As someone said, what about if the child is close to one parent who isn't his biological one? becomes some sort of uncle/aunt?
How to prevent trafficking?
Naturalization through marriage? Can one single person marry a bunch of others at once and naturalize them all?
It's a can of worms... one that could be unraveled.... I don't see why not... but it would maybe require far more work than most politicians are willing to put into it on most countries.
Present rules don't scale up too well.
EDIT: Also, C_L, if your husband ever cheats on you, he's a fucking dumbass!
Good point about the children.
And thanks!

Haha, cheating on my husband would be like breaking into someone's car to steal some change in the cup holder after I just won the lottery....
I'd have to be a complete idiot to do something that stupid.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
