At least in principle. What two loving adult people do, or three or four or eighteen, with their own lives is great with me, so long as they're happy and it doesn't impede or negatively impact anyone else's lives, liberty, or happiness.

What those religious polygamists do out in the Western states, however, is to deny their young daughters proper education, indoctrinate them with extreme religious dogma that denies their equal standing as human beings, and then compel them to marry much older men without their consent, and prior to their reaching the age of consent.

This, in my opinion, is tantamount to child rape. It can no more be justified than what the Catholic Church has allegedly been involved in, so give THEM a good going over as well.
