It doesn't have to be.  Monogamous marriages are treated this way in some countries, but we all know that monogamous marriage doesn't have to be that way.  I think it should be legal.  Also, marriages of 3 men.  Marriages of 3 women.  I think

* that there should be universal health care, so no company has to deal with the insurance implications
* hospital visitation, etc for all in the "marriage" contract
* all names go onto birth certificates, and all are responsible for child care in case of divorce
* in case of death without a will, money is divided equally amoung all in the contract and all children
* of course no entering into the contract for a cash fee to parents (which is also illegal for monogamous marriages?)

I think with these rules there is no reason it shouldn't be a civilized interaction.[/quote]
I don't know why you are interpreting polygamy as a contract between all participants. It totally doesn't have to be. It should be multiple contracts between couples. What do I have to do with someone else's children? If the man wants to marry more than one, that's between him and the other woman. They have their own contract, their own children, and their own custody and childcare arrangements. It's not the business of other wives/husbands.
