28. So are many binary marriages, dating relationships, and domestic partnerships

I hear what you're saying, but I think that just because the form of a social arrangement may lead to an undesirable outcome, does not in and of itself warrant state intervention. I do think the state is justified in non-recognition of polygamy because polygamous arrangements are unadjudicatable under our legal system, but not because of sheer moral disapproval.
