My only problem with polygamy is that it can sometimes be a synonym for "marrying a half dozen child brides," but that doesn't mean that polygamy should be illegal, only that the statutes outlawing child brideship should be enforced.

I've changed my mind on this issue.

Bringing it into the mainstream would make finding predators easier and make it easier for those who are abused to get help.

There is a case in Canada currently where the first wife (barren) was brought to this country as an aunt, and then could not leave her abusers due to fears of her legal status. Her (and three daughters) ended up the victims of an 'honour' killing.
