Because marriage is not really about breeding. It is about Avoiding Loneliness, which only requires one person. Once you have one spouse, you are not lonely anymore, and you no do not have a basic right to marry someone else. This is also why you do not have a basic right to marry a labrador retriever, even one with hip dysplasia. Although dog's are man's best friend, and good for some companionship, you can have a dog and still be lonely.
