Having more than one wife violates the "cruel and unusual punishment" clause of the Eighth Amendment.
Polygamy is really not illegal, since not recognized in law, unless it involves incest or sex with a minor. I don't really understand what this one is all about. If a guy can round up three adult women who live in his house to service him, that is not a crime - anywhere.

How about the sex ratio being just the opposite ... three men married to one woman? It would fit the 'service' notion more aptly at certain ages.
It's really about men wanting to do that, then to legitimize those relationships through marriage in order that everyone can collect a welfare check and no one has to work. No man in his right mind wants to support more than one woman plus her children. It's lunacy.
Polygamy only made real sense in an underpopulated agricultural society, where children were an economic asset. Today it's financial suicide.
