However, why should the state concern itself if, say,  five people shack up with each other?

The state doesn't care.


The state's interest in this is fighting the right of communities like these Latter-Day Fundamentalists to indoctrinate their children into this lifestyle. The state doesn't care if consenting adults want to get frisky in groups larger than 2.  The state cares a lot about preventing people from raising their daughters from infancy to believe that God's Plan is for them to make babies for the cult leader.

Refusing to give legal recognition to polygamy is part of that effort. If you can't tell people that it's against the law of the land, can you tell people that it's illegal to raise your kids with that belief?
