“I confess that I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict the Scripture. If a man wishes to marry more than one wife he should be asked whether he is satisfied in his conscience that he may do so in accordance with the word of God. In such a case the civil authority has nothing to do in the matter.” (De Wette II, 459, ibid., pp. 329-330.)
“...is absolutely no reason in the logic of our relativistic and floundering marriage laws to require him to limit himself to one.”
To the state, marriage laws have no connection to any sort of logic beyond what judges, pols, or the voting majority thinks to use. Once it is decided, the state is happy to reward, enforce and punish no matter what, illogical or logical.
