Hi,
From the POV of the State (or whatever government), marriage should just be viewed as a contract between two persons.
I did not say "two". I just said "the people involved". If a group wished to set up a polyandry, a polygyny, or even a group marriage then as long as all participants do so of their own free will, I see no reason why it should be banned. Indeed, a "line" marriage would be (at least in theory) a stabler means for raising children than the presently accepted norms which lead to so many "single" parents.
