This work adds to the debates on the exclusionary effects of monogamy, drawing attention to its place in the processes that concern the regularization of immigrants through marriage in Brazil, a process typified as family unification in the migration laws in force in the country. Both institutionalized procedures and the experiences of immigrants reveal that the State's actions go beyond the law, mobilizing moral imaginaries about family and demanding the staging of monogamous choreographies as the only possible certificate of merit of belonging to the national body. This interregnum between the law and the norm in which immigration regularization is inserted makes it, first of all, a management marked by administrative violence whose main consequences are intense moral scrutiny and the withdrawal of fundamental rights from immigrants.
