Legalizing polygamy means ALL state and federal benefits must accrue like any other legal marriage. But since almost all polygamy is male with multiple wives, with the added component of government financial benefits, this will naturally lead to sexplotation akin to a pimp extorting his hookers. In this context, polygamy is nothing but human trafficking, and the state is essentially legally making the women de facto property. The exact same case can be made for marriage to minors. Pandoras box that is wrong on so many levels, and originally opened with gay marriage.

Is Utah only decriminalizing, or actually legally recognizing polygamy? It’s only the second that entails legal recognition and benefits.
