Question: A single-family housing ordinance in Edenville limits occupancy to people who comprise a "family" - defined as three or more people who are related by blood or marriage. The zoning ordinance is intended to preserve a harmonious family atmosphere in the neighborhood and prevent over-crowding, traffic congestion, and excessive burdens on schools. Adam, Eve, Sarah, and Hannah are a polygamous family who wish to live in the single-family zone. Adam has married each woman in a fundamentalist religious ceremony, but he is lawfully married only to Eve. The group has been informed that they cannot live in the single-family zone.

Adam and his wives argue that the zoning ordinance is unconstitutional under Moore v. City of East Cleveland, Lawrence v. Texas, and Obergefell v. Hodges. You are the judge assigned to hear the case. How will you rule and why?
