From the responses so far, it would seem that most do not equate marriage with sex, even though we assume this when people get married.
So why should government discriminate against polygamy then? In fact, if it has nothing to do with sex, you could say that we are all married in a way since we now have the responsibility to pay certain fees and undertake certain responsibilities etc. for each other in government.
Sex is a generally expected part of most marriages, but it is not the primary purpose, and in some cases, is not a factor at all.
When Stephen Hawking got married, for example, I'd be willing to bet neither he nor his wife thought it was going to have anything to do with knocking boots.
It used to be quite common, and still isn't exactly uncommon, for gay men to marry women, for a number of reasons that didn't involve sex, particularly if the woman KNEW he was gay. In the eyes of the government, they were just as married as anyone else.
Older people, with their health problems, often stop having a sexual relationship, but remain just as married in the eyes of the government. They are not required to report to ANY government agency when their sexual relationship cease, because no one cares.
You're too fixated on sex, chum.
