What?

Your proposal is written as if you just suffered a stroke.

And the fact that you replied to yourself twice with meaningless comments only further confuses what you’re trying to do.

I am not sure what the original poster meant but it sounded to my that they were in favor of polygamy. However, viewing the American government the way I do, I would make the following proposal on this topic:

  1. Polygamy (and polyandry for that matter) should be federally legal in the United States. There is no Constitutional grant of power in the federal Constitution authorizing the federal government to regulate the form of marriage nor to stipulate the terms of who can be in a marriage. This is properly a State issue, not a federal one.
  2. As for States, I do not believe that a State should stipulate the terms of a marriage, nor specify who can be in one provided the following conditions are met:
    A. Each marriage is solely between two people (This does not prevent a any one person from being in multiple marriages concurrently, only limits the parties of each marriage contract to specifically two individuals.)
    B. The parties to the marriage have reached the age of majority (whatever the State deems appropriate for entering into contracts such as opening a checking account, buying a car or house, establishment of a business, etc.) – this is commonly referred to as “legal age”.
    C. The parties to the marriage do so voluntarily and any other marriages the parties are also in has been fully disclosed to the other along with any obligations (such as kids, debt owed, properties owned, etc.) so that both parties can enter their marriage fully aware of the legal obligations their soon to be partner is already obligated to so they can make a fully informed decision.
    D. That all States, consistent with the United States Constitution, recognize and fulfill the obligations of marriage entered into in other States, even when such marriages may be prohibited by State law in their own State. Since the marriage was legally entered into in a State where it was allowed, if individuals move to a State where it is not recognized, the State is still bound to honor the provisions of the contract as though it were a valid marriage in their own State when disputes or government involvement arise as they would for any other marriage.

I believe this would provide for the most freedom of individuals to contract, to pursue inter-personal relationships that best fit their own preferences, that provides for the free exercise of religion (several religions allow a person to marry more than one person, generally a man to have more than one women but there are a few that allow the reverse as well). This also does not enforce a particular religious viewpoint upon those who do not share that religious view.

This also provides for the principles of informed consent between the parties, that the parties are of legal age and fully capable to making their own decisions, and treats everyone as equal under the law providing the benefits of marriage to all marriage arrangements without discriminatory preference.
