Not quite.

If they legally married more than one spouse at a time, THAT'S the
no-no. But if they simply live in communes with others and **** them
and call it a "religious marriage" there isn't any law in ANY state
against it. I know that from organizing group*** communes and get-
togethers in the 1970's. Otherwise the state might have an interest
in how many boyfriends you've had recently, or whether you got any
of them together, and that violates privacy, says the Supreme Court.

Now you may think that polygyny (more than one wife) is unfair, and
that polyandry might be more fun (more than one husband) but polygamy
(many spouses all-together) which is incorrectly used in the media,
is perfectly legal, as long as you don't try to have the state sanction
it legally.
