Should Polygamy Be Allowed?

[Exarch]

in western countries?
this is totally unfair. this is the judeo-christian establishment attempting to exert their ethics and morals upon others, the way some muslims try to exert their own ethics and morals upon others (ahem sheik feiz)

what's so wrong about mormons who want to marry more than 1 woman (hey, if he's partial to the headache of all them women, who're we to declare otherwise?), or hindus or muslims for that matter? or anyone?

i'm an atheist, but hell, if i could afford it i'd have multiple wives. yes, i have that much love to give

i mean, where's the harm in a bloke who wants more than one woman?

[The Cobra]

Because it would've been abusive to women's rights, why would a man marry more than one woman whilst a woman can do that, i mean it's abusive to women's rights for a man to even have a penis.

[Orko]

1000 years ago, it was allowed for Jews to marry more then 1 woman. by it stopped. why? cause there would be a massive shortage of women. and while some may have dozens of wive, many more others would never get to marry, cause other people hold all the women.

Marriage is a legal contract between two consenting adults. The answer is no. The legal issues of insurance and assets and custody and divorce are just too much to deal with, and for what reason?

[Mathais]

No I live by the Polygamy city they creep me out. Other wise there is no point for it when god did have the people start it up it was to get things going in the population. Other wise for the most part they are good folks that love there high tech goods.

[finsternis]

If the woman could do the same thing, then I see no problem.

[Djûn]

Except for the ridiculous amounts of legal bureaucracy required for so many marriages, pre-nuptial agreements and almost inevitable divorces.

When a inevitable bio-disaster wipes out 75% of the y chromosome and makes it 20X more likely for males to be miscarried in the womb, I will support polygamy 100%. I will consider it my obligation to have at least four wives and over fifty children.

Until then, I'm happy to be "constrained" by one girlfriend at a time and eventually one wife. Call me old-fashioned but I like my kids to be certain that only one women is their biological mother.

that's very unlikely to happen.

No becuase it is simply not necessary in todays day and age. It served a purpose when there were times when the male population in a settlement was smaller than the female population, even Hindu's look down on Polygamy (it was an old Hindu tradition) unless there is a good reason too. It really serves no purpose to have more than one wife in todays culture and society.

It doesn't have to serve any purpose other than that I want it, or you want it, or he wants it.....

Everything should be allowed unless it's proved harmful.

You can't marry others if you're married, that's adultery, which has a very heavy fine in some states. If two women decide to marry a man, or two men a woman, they are stuck with him, unless one divorces or both divorce.

So what's wrong with adultery? It makes people to feel good and does no harm other than to break some ridiculous traditions and the hearts of those jealous and greedy bastards...

Nothing's wrong with adultery, I'm just saying why orko's notion wouldn't be likely here, where adultery is illegal. though I don't get why you'd even waste the money to marry in the FIRST place if you could just avoid the law all together and be with the one you love and be adulterous. Marriage in general I think is one of the archaic traditions that we need to get past, along with chivalry.

marriage was created so that people would have a child nad take care of him.

[Playfishpaste]

But people who aren't married can do that and have done that throughout history just fine.

[Playfishpaste]

Polygamy is fine, I don't see why not, it's basically the same as a relationship with multiple men or multiple women just now they all have rings on their fingers. Seems a waste of good money to me though, but that's marriage in general.

I assume he just means anything that makes lots of sex necessary for the race, orko.

I don't know why we can't just have it legal now though.

personally, I don't know why we can't.
I mean, I only support polygamy if the woman can marry several Men as well.

[Playfishpaste]

it's strange how two people have already had to mention that...is the overarching stigma that men only get the multiple spouses? I have always thought of it on equal terms, but i guess that comes from mormons.

[Orko]

but there is a downside that I see:
a man is married to two women, and each Women is married to two Men, that each one is married to two Women, and so on... it would create a huge family and the entire human race will be inbred.
