Why is polyamory so hated in the US?
So what? multiple wonderful people loving each other. Multiple committed partners. It is just more love and joy to share 🤷

Polygamy? Sure, but with the exception of one (or so) African culture where women choose multiple partners, polygamy is mostly one man taking multiple women.
Why do you think there are laws against polyamory in the USA. It's perfectly "allowed", legal and no laws against it and I know people who practice it.

She's talking about polygamy and polyamory. You're saying this is normal in any western country with Pakistani immigrants.
Marrying within the extended family may be acceptable and legal, but that's not the same thing.

I always thought of myself as well traveled, but wit the exception of cultures that allow males to marry more than one woman, I have yet to encounter a single society where polygamy or polyamory are part of the mainstream.
I'm willing to wager that it's about as "mainstream" in the USA as it may be in any Western society.
It depends on where someone might live. If you live in San Francisco, LA, Seattle, New York, or Portland, you're going to find all kinds of lifestyles accepted and practiced, at the same level as if you live in parts of Paris, Berlin, or Copenhagen.
it's not Illigal.... It's looked down on by society
