Polygamy, why the forget is it illegal?

[Parallel]

Besides the fact no one wants 12 wives going down their necks, tell me why Polygamy is illegal. People should have the right to more than 1 wife.

only because of modern Christianity run society. if not for that, im sure laws would have been passed much differently. government has no reason to give a stuff.

even though the bible encourages multiple wives.

Someone find about that polygamist in Utah who had like 8 children and 3 other wives.

[Comatose]

Aren't you allowed to have several wives if you're a certain religion?

[Bisjac]

yeah didn't that guy have a bunch of kids with like 3 or 4 underage wives, all aranged?

that is the life lol

[Colten]

I support this but everytime I bring it up in a conversation theyre like LOL THATS SO WRONG OMG

[Comatose]

I don't think you're allowed to have multiple wives, also, because you're violating a bigamy law.

You can be married religiously, but it doesn't gurantee legal recognition.

I believe a legal contract must be signed in order to garuntee the right of marriage.

Wow I love how you can rip on Christianity in both directions...

Yea but I don't see how the state should be able to say what is marriage and what isn't.

If you consider a marriage licence a contract, then yes.

It doesn't seem like polygamy would be favorable to the woman, but if she's all for it then it really isn't the government's place to say otherwise.

IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT THEN SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO PARTICIPATE.
UNLESS, SHOTGUN WEDDING

yeah but who is to say a woman cant just have herself 3 husbands?

with woman earning 70 cents to the man's dollar.
life would actually be pretty sweet in a 4 man household.
