> Legalize polygyny for rich men who can financially support multiple wives.

Rich men already have offspring from multiple women if they want, without having to marry. I fail to see what the advantage would be.

If it's legal + acceptable for all men, then it undermines the advantage of the elite in this regard. Plus I don't think "stigma" matters to them at all.

The elite already have immigration.
