The standard opinion is that if a person cannot chose a single person as their life partner then the bond with the partners will not be nearly as strong as in a two person relationship. Thus leading to marital problems and divorce. Divorce is always a thing to be avoided since it’s a severe burden on the individuals, their children, society and the government. Adding extra people to the equation makes divorce settlements and inheritance laws very complicated which is a burden on the legal system.
From a personal perspective, polygamy contradicts my concept of marriage and relationship. Yet my arguments against polygamy are based on the argument mentioned above. If the argument can be de-spell then I will have no problem with other people practicing polygamy.
