There appear to be three fronts of attacks on monogamous marriage, from my observation: Fundamentalist Christians, fundamentalist Muslims, and hipsters.  The article says the high court allows for the banning of polygamous marriage but should it ?

Do we care ?

Furthermore, if these aren't attempted 'legal' marriages then how are they different from secular relationships ?  The court should stay out of those IMO.

I couldn't see myself having more than one wife but I could be convinced to try it for a weekend or so...

A friend who believes in and lives the polyamourous lifestyle provided evidence to the court on polyamory.   Initially, she felt that polygamy was not a lot different, but by the end of her role in this particular case she felt that the insertion of religious belief made the polygamy practiced by this group harmful to women.
