Anyway… back to the multiple partners….
Easier to Have a Family
Polygamy would make the family unit more efficient, as more people can pursue careers and bring in money, but due to economies of scale, less additional money will be needed for each additional partner. Additional people in the house won’t need another kitchen or necessarily another bathroom, so therefore it’s cheaper to live in groups – particularly groups with multiple incomes. In addition, there is more likely to be a person staying at home, which saves on childcare. While it will not always be the case there are many ways in which living in groups can be more economical.
Long Lasting Relationships
Polygamy reduces the strains on the family and minimizes the likelihood of breakdown and divorce. It reduces the desire for adultery by providing alternatives for sexual exploration within the family. Why would somebody look beyond the family unit when there is no limit to the size of the family? If you increase the variety of personalities and sexual preferences within a family there’s no point in looking around. People look for a lot of qualities in a spouse, and that it is unlikely that any one person can possess them all, which is why there is so much adultery in monogamous relationships.
Marrying the Right Person
To marry people who are already married presents us with the chance to take partners that have already proven themselves in society as responsible parents and providers - that is, to reduce the risk in marriage. It also means that one doesn't have to settle for those "left over"; you can marry the person you want, not just the person that's left. Very few countries have exactly the same number of males and females. In the UAE, there are 2.2 males per female, but in Estonia, there are only 0.84 males per female. This means that monogamy restricts options significantly.
People Love More than One
The idea that the individual can only truly love one person is artificial and false, a product of a particular time, place and culture. In fact, in a study on human societies worldwide, of 1231 societies noted, only 186 were entirely monogamous. Polygamy is not about freedom to fornicate with anyone; it's about cementing relationships with individuals one wants to spend the rest of one's life with, just as in monogamous marriages.
Freedom of Choice
The law should recognize freedom of choice. If somebody wants to marry more than one person, and all parties involved agree, then the state should not get involved. We have a right to privacy, and a right to non-interference in our family life. These are not absolute rights, but they are important: breach of them needs to be contemplated with extreme care and is not merited here. This is particularly important because some religious sects promote polygamy, so banning it also impinges on freedom of religion.
