The former is much more destructive to the traditional family, and affects far more families, than the latter.
However, I don't wish to hijick the thread with what was, admittedly, a rant. If you want to debate it any more, feel free to PM me.

PM you.
In the case of the polygamous sect, what do you think? Remove anyone that is underage. Should the head dude be able to marry 16 women? Why not? Should 17 people be married? There is a line, and that line is one man and one woman. Change that, and you MUST allow polygamous marriages, or admit your hypocrisy.
