Too much choice (1)

[james_davis_nicoll]

It seems to me that if you let people marry who they like, this can only inevitably lead them to want to exercise choice in other fields of human endeavour and then where would we be? Today it's three people getting married but tomorrow it could be drinking water with a bit of lime in it instead of a more economically strategic soft drink or someone deciding they don't want to work 80 hours weeks.

I'm talking to you, Brazil

We can start with wiping out the variety of sexism that assumes the women would only be interested in the man.

I think part of any acceptable form of legal polygamy would be the idea that, first of all, you can only be in one marriage at a time, and second, legally, everyone in the relationship is married to everyone else (and informed consent is therefore necessary from all parties).

Who's actually having sex with each other is not really the state's concern.

I assume you have already seen Gay Marriage: the Database Engineering Perspective.
