This link provides a long, but very good libertarian view on the detrimental effects of polygamy upon society.

It is concise, efficient, straightforward, but wordy - - please take the time to read it, it can be vitally important to the future of our society. Following is an excerpt:

.....Marriage matters. It is better for the kids; it is better for the adults raising those kids; and it is better for the childless people in the communities where those kids and adults live. Marriage reduces poverty, improves kids outcomes in all measurable ways, makes men live longer and both spouses happier. Marriage, it turns out, is an incredibly important institution. It also turns out to be a lot more fragile than we thought back then. It looked, to those extremely smart and well-meaning welfare reformers, practically unshakeable; the idea that it could be undone by something as simple as enabling women to have children without husbands, seemed ludicrous. Its cultural underpinnings were far too firm. Why would a woman choose such a hard road? It seemed self-evident that the only unwed mothers claiming benefits would be the ones pushed there by terrible circumstance.

That isn't a libertarian view. It's authoritarian. It is imposing your moral judgement on everyone else when there is no direct initiation of force, fraud or theft by the primary actors. Stringing out a list of abuses of government hardly proves the point you are trying to make. In fact, it butresses the point that without government in the first place, it wouldn't BE an issue.

What you and your housemates arrange amongst your consenting adult members is of ZERO concern to me. I may never invite you over for a barbeque, or offer you a place on my companies board of directors, but I'm also not going to advocate that hired government guns pull a raid on you either.
