Reply #43: I think there would be too many practical problems too

[Nikia]

I suppose that these could be solved in some ways but there would have to be a lot of law written to cover everything. Who is actually married, for example? Provided that same sex marriage was also legal a man and three women could be a man married to three women or a man and three women all married to one another or some of them married and some of them not. The difference would be important legally. Would there be some limits on the definitions of marriage, who can marry, and what informed consent really is. What if people did business this way? Could a small business make marriage a condition of employment? What if your marriage group wanted to take a new spouse that you didn't want? Could you divorce some of your spouses but not all of them? What if your spouses you wanted to keep were still married to those you wanted to divorce? What about custody and visitation if all ten partners decided to go their separate ways? I just don't know how all this could legally work? Then there is the issue of insurnce.
