My point is that property issues in a polygamous relationship should not be too difficult to find a solution to as the issues have probably already been addressed in other laws.
In common law when you enter into a marriage contract all assets of both parties become communal property of the marriage. And unless you outline what was yours before (in a pre nup usually) it gets divided as a marriage asset in a divorce.
