      Not sure why some people think 'the definition of marriage will change' is a convincing argument against opening it up to same-sex couples.

      That's an observation, not an argument. Once, 'voter' referred to property-owning men. Now it refers to all adults. Observation.

      The observation is coupled with slippery-slope arg. i.e. if we expand marriage to include SSM, what prevents it from including polygamy?

      Butting in here Polygamy means some wives are on welfare for a time. Islam is demanding it in Europe for 4 wives and x children

      No, I mean polygamy works both ways. Islam authorises polygyny

          I guess but since hetero/homo can both marry legally, the courts are reluctant to get involved with marital assets of 5 adults

          So, there's another barrier to the slippery slope?

          I wish I could find the article from UK where a Muslim man received £36000 per month for 4 wives and 10? Children

          I'll take your word for it in the meantime but I think this is a different, practical issue to the issue of whether polygamy is ethical.

          If the concern about polymarriage is cost of spousal benefits, halve them for two spouses, split three ways for three spouses, etc.

          If everyone was honest Otherwise they can easily scam the benefits system

          That's always the case tho. The dishonesty is the problem rather than the marriage.
