My legal studies teacher seems to think so. He constantly kept showing this video about Tom Green and then began to explain why theres nothing wrong with it.
What do you think?

Yes well this is quite the conundrum...Many people will say that...Hang on, is your legal studies teacher Mr Cole??? Yes he is known for his antics and his pro bigamy ideals. Why doesn't he separate his personal life from his work life?? If he wants to believe that then that's fine, but when I am on the marking panel for Legal Studies HSC every year, and papers come in from Centre No. 556, they ALWAYS contain references to Tom Green and bigamy and why it should be legalized (one person even linked it in with legal aid), and I see the footnote stating; "sorry I had Mr Cole for legal studies", it makes me want to take my Rickshaw down to Centre No. 556, grab Mr Cole out of class and FedEx him straight over to Utah so he can live with his Bigamist friend and they can live off their own twisted ideals and morals and watch the interview with Tom Green over and over again. And when I think that, i just relax, have a RedBull, and give the student a high mark. They deserve it.

Marriage laws are no different from things we often condemn in other countries, such as the one child policy in China, anti-gay laws and so on.
Monogomy in law is social engineering. From modern moral, legal and social principals there is no reason to have a ban on multiple simultaneous marriages.
While we can argue for the social impact of such a law, it seems that it is a matter of individual consent rather than what a government considers appropriate.
For example, you can have sex with multiple parnters (of any gender), having children with them and you are break no law. (in previous times these things were illegal). But to promise to be faithful to more than one person and build a family structure around multipartners under a legal structure is not...go figure.

Legally, it can exist in Australia, and it is a controdiction in Federal Law.
The law as it stands in Australia states that no person may be married to two partners at the same time.
But another part of that act states that any marriage that is recognised overseas as a legal marriage is a legal marriage under Australian law.
The immigration act allows a person to bring their spouse into Australia so long as there is no criminal record.
SO, A PERSON MAY BRING TWO OR MORE WIVES INTO AUSTRALIA SO LONG AS THEY WERE LEGAL WHERE THE MARRIAGES TOOK PLACE.

If everyone is consenting then I don't see why not.
