HBO's Big Love shows the kind that should be legal (the main characters) and the type that shouldn't (the prophet).
An enclave community has a large danger of veering into child abuse for structural reasons. With a 50/50 gender ratio, and assuming a multiple women/one man structure, there will be intense competition for brides. Without constant vigilance, prospective brides will be picked up earlier and earlier, and prospective competition will be expelled.
