Why is government legislating marriage in the first place?

What we currently consider strange may be appropriate or necessary someday. If there were a shortage of men or women, wouldn't we want youngsters to marry and procreate? Wouldn't polygamy be a good idea under this circumstance?

I particularly don't like government trying to encourage behavior by offering tax incentives. This takes money from one and gives it to another.
