[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a big fan of legalizing it. I would suggest that it would require a different set of rules. Mandatory family trusts? Mandatory declaration of intent of polygamy at first marriage? Mandatory notification of present spouse about new spouse? Waiting period for existing spouse to opt out? Mandatory minimum incomes? Agree it can get complicated. Might have to borrow laws and rules from countries that already do this. But it can be done. 
My feeling is that the man should have to state that he intends to be polygamist BEFORE marrying the first wife. Nor surprises. Or, the couple may be able to check a box MONOGAMOUS. If he changes his mind, big fine. 
Also, minimum income to get a second spouse. Not an income that comes from the first wife, but a from the husband. 
Maybe each of these cases might need to be handled on a case by case basis like an adoption. Each family puts in for approval, based mostly on income. 
I guess only 5% of men max would want more than one wife. So it is not a big deal. [/quote]

In all the polyamourous relationships I've heard of, it consists of a bisexual female, her husband, and her girlfriend. I'm assuming that if polygamous marriage were legalized in this country, we'd see way more of that model than the husband with 5 wives. At least outside of Utah. [/quote]
