However, just because you don't see a compelling reason for polygamous marriage, it doesn't mean others(i.e traditional Mormons and many others around the world) don't like the idea.

I don't like the idea of polygamous marriage, either, but I'm having a hard time justifying why, if not for a personal preference objection(just like some might not prefer blacks and whites marrying)

i always figured it was mostly guys who would be for the idea.
but, like i said, the whole deal is about allowing two adults marry in some circumstances, but not in others. if there is no legal reason (precluding age, too closely related for example, or not free from previous legal contract) then i don't see how the govt can say yes to some, no to others. really, that's all it comes down to.
