And here comes polygamy

[cordex]

This would be my concern given the history.  Not sure how that would be put into law if possible.

It's a valid concern, but would also be for monogamous marriages too, right?

monogamous marriages limits the exploitation to a 1:1 ratio.

... at a time.  Oh, well then that's okay!

I don't know either, but it seems to me the words "arm's length transaction" might be helpful.  I don't know what the legal status of that phrase is in contract law, but since marriage is a contract, "shotgun marriages" would seem to be invalid or illegal under that concept.  As would porking a subordinate, like in the above discussion about what's-her-name.

If a group of people can get married to eachother and somehow work they system to avoid paying taxes, I'm all for it.

ie. why shouldn't 2-5 couples get married together, pool their resources, buy a large property/house, cut their tax liability by having about 1/2 of them work and provide benefits, another few members homeschool the children, and the remainders act as command/coms/support/accounting.

Been done.

I'm kind of surprised we didn't just blow by polygamy without even noticing.
