There is no place in history that says marriage is between people other than men and women so that is not the question. The question is: When did marriage between a man and one woman become law? Or I guess the question should be: What country or empire stated a two person (man woman) household was legal and a household with more that one woman was not legal? But in todays environment marriage is not something that is required for living together so more that one woman in the household should not be a problem unless the legal question comes up.

In order for Utah to become a state, the federal government forced it to renounce polygamy.

It's not about whether two person/man/woman/horse households are legal. Just about any household is legal. However, it may not be marriage.
