The present work attempts to determine whether the enactment of a marriage of more than two persons could be expected, possible and how demanding such enactment would be. It attempts to show that the meaning of the marriage changes and it attempts to find out if it has changed to such an extent that, in addition to the marriage of same-sex couples, it allows the marriage of more than two persons. By showing various ways of changing the institute of marriage it determines that, the legislator, despite the simplicity of abolishing the institute of marriage, would have to keep the marriage in the public sphere, regulate it at the state level and change it to the extent that it would enable the conclusion of various forms of relations. It tries to show that when regulating plural marriage, the legislator in Slovenia could derive from existing institutes from the family law or in some cases it should appropriately modify these institutes or use them in a different manner.
