Next up in America, polygamy?

'As consenting adults, we should be able to raise a family however we choose'

The movement to legalize multi-partner marriage got a huge boost with this week's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that the federal government must give benefits to same-sex married partners, according to advocates of polygamy.

"We polyamorists are grateful to our brothers and sisters for blazing the marriage equality trail," Anita Wagner Illig told U.S. News and World Report.

"I would absolutely want to seek multi-partner marriage — it would eliminate a common challenge polyamorists face when two are legally married and others in their group relationships aren't part of that marriage," she said.

Illig, head of the group Practical Polyamory, argued it's a matter of equality – the concept cited by the U.S. court in its decision.

"A favorable outcome for marriage equality is a favorable outcome for multi-partner marriage, because the opposition cannot argue lack of precedent for legalizing marriage for other forms of non-traditional relationships," she said.
