Human society has always been polygamous to some degree -- the rich and powerful have always had multiple "partners" in various cultures, be they formal and legitimate arrangements or something illegitimate outside of wedlock. In that sense, I don't think anyone should be surprised that polygamy continues to exist. Personally, I see no reason why it should be banned as long as all parties involved are of legal age of majority, willingly participate in that kind of arrangement, and is not being exploited in any manner.
The Bountiful cases were fxxked up because the polygamous relationship involved minors, brainwashing, (twisted) religion, and a bunch of other fxxked up stuff.
