   Because they are married into the same group marriage.   
      
   See, your views seem such in asserting that a marriage only has one of a   
   particular sex and the rest are of the other, and the other sex isn't   
   married to each other.   
      
   So tell me... in a group marriage involving 6 men and 9 women....who is   
   married to whom?   
      
   In short, you're ignoring the very real fact of same sex marriage within a   
   polygamy.
