In some multiple marriage situations you get people who don't have the same level of concern for kids that are not there kids biologically but you get the same situation sometimes with stepparents and no one argues against allowing divorced or widowed people to remarry. I can imagine jealousy between the marriage partners in such a family but partners in a traditional marriage can still be jealous of other relationships. If you look for bad possibilities you will be able to find them but if you are trying to imagine what could go wrong you could find bad possibilities in any family arrangement.

If the family members can all get along with the idea I don't think its my place to say they can't do this. I'm a bit conservative but I don't think this should really be illegal. There are details that might have to be worked out in terms of how the legal benefits for spouses work, but the details could be worked out, I am not against the principle of such marriages being legal even if I don't think they are my cup of tea...
