For anyone who likes to draw outside the monogamous lines, ethically.
Whether you are polyamorous, in an open relationship, a swinger or just monogomish, this is the place for you.

IIRC, one of the biggest reasons the state promotes monogamy is because our legal system is designed for two-party disputes and isn't well equipped to handle deviations from that. Consider what divorce proceedings would look like in this new social system with our current legal system - what is already a protracted process would be exponentially longer.
If you wanted to escape from these kinda of situations from a state viewpoint, you'd need to rebuild the legal system to handle the new interactions. I'm not making a value judgement but rather speaking to the mechanical aspects of changing a social norm with widespread effect.
