Taking it away from just the adult members of the marriage, what about the kids?

Imagine being one of 20 kids with several mothers. How can you every really bond?

Imagine being a boy. The boys get cast out, mostly, except for a favored one or two who get to get married.

‘Taint natural. Joking aside, for the children, I think it is cruel.

I look at that situation as just a step up from the "fence jumping ghetto parents who have babies with various men/women without ever marrying or caring for them in the same home". A man with multiple wives is exhibiting his inability to commit to one woman and family, and using religion as an excuse to continually find new women to bed.
