I notice in your post "the women...have usually".

In other words you are saying that normally this is the case. Something that I have not disagreed with. I only said it is not inherently like this. I wasn't disagreeing with your description of the typical polygamous situation.

I agree there is often abuse and sometimes fraud. Fraud and abuse can and should be illegal, but when there is no such fraud or abuse then there should be no prosecution and imprisonment. Note I'm not calling for legally recognizing polygamy. I am not saying that the state should be required to recognize such marriages, I just don't think people should be sent to prison just because they have such relationships and call them a marriage. Note also I am not supporting such relationships as being healthy, or being a good idea even under the best of circumstances.
