<p>One thing I have a problem with is how these Nth wives claim to be unmarried mothers for the purpose of welfare benefits. It's the only way the guy can afford > 10 wives. If they wanted to stop this, they could simply by acknowleding their unlicensed (by the state) marriages as actual marriages and stop welfare payments. That would require no show of state force at all. But that would require that the state not be the arbiter of marriage and would thus lessen it's power. So that's not what they did.</p>
