There is another Reason.com article that discusses some of the thorny technical issues raised by the state allowing polygamous relationships.
"It would be financially ruinous to make a boss insure the seven husbands of one of his employees. The Internet is already brimming with offers of Asian brides in search of green-card husbands; how many sham marriages would the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service have to sift through once an American man could marry thirty Filipinas? What tax benefits will apply to a plural marriage? How can the authorities turn informants among a criminal gang whose members are all married to each other and thus have immunity from testifying in court?"
I think there are enough different issues here to show definite differences between two-person marriages and polygamous marriages where the law is concerned.
