Actually, I like Kav/Simpson, too. They have amazing chemistry together - which could be friendship as well as something else.
Clan marriages are different from polygamy, by the way. In a clan marriage, several spouses are present, both male and female, not just one guy and several wives.
In the "Moments of Joy" AU, I work with a different Weir, as you know, and while I haven't exactly figured out her opinion about Kav, their relationship would be much more relaxed than in canon. Plus, Bates won't remain chief of security after Hot Zone anyway, so his opinion, while might still count, won't be a deciding voice.
Besides, Kav won't be the first one to enter a clan marriage. At this point, Zelenka is already married to Marta (and thus part of Halling's marriage group, although nobody seems to realize that in Atlantis), and Markham and Stackhouse, too, have an Athosian wife - the same one, actually. Given the 2:1 imbalance of men and women in Atlantis, alternate lifestyles are almost inevitable, especially since I won't let them have easy contact to Earth like in canon.
The Darkroom series, while an AU itself, is much closer to canon, so the settings are different. For example, it's mentioned somewhere in Darkroom 2, I think, that Kav and Simpson have recently broken up.
