Feel free to make that distinction and fight for your cause.

However, the law really can't make that distinction (at least not easily) - you can understand why I've treated them the same for purposes of this discussion, I'm sure? I don't mean any offense by lumping them together, or to imply one is akin to the other.

I didn't think you meant to cause offense and didn't take any. Since most religious polygamy occurs in nigh cult like environments (at least here, I don't know enough about African or Islamic polygamy to comment) and underage marriage can occur with parental consent it is probably legally impossible to make such a distinction as things stand.

I only raise the point since he grouped group relationships with the more concerning categories as something to fear on the scary slippery slope that ends in child molestation. -.-
