Should polygamy be legalized?

Shayla · F
No. The paperwork and legal issues are just too much.

I think it's a bad idea, but I also think the government should stay out of it if people want to make stupid decisions, except maybe to provide people with a path out of it (divorce court).

@IstillmissEP no one asked if we should force you to do anything. Sounds doubtful anyone would want to marry you, far less more than one person.

If you convert to a Muslim then it is legal ! But please no, moral values forbid that a man should be unfaithful to his many wives.

It should be decriminalised. Legalise implies it's illegal by default when it's been the other way around throughout history.

It's happening anyway whether people like it or not.

Some are prosecuted. Homosexuality was happening when illegal.@DeWayfarer

@AnneHoney Not even a small minority. The day that cheating becomes prosecutable is the day to be worried.

@Sniper It ensures only the best equipped male has offspring, that's pretty manly if you ask me
@Sniper I hate to be that guy, but polyandry was actually the norm among some tribal nomadic peoples. Brothers would marry a woman. It was a way of keeping a family's herds and grazing lands intact and to avoid them from being divided between brothers. So it evidently makes sense for some people in some contexts.

You also had men killed in wars and the brother taking his wife and children.

My point is simple should our government decide who we can marry. Or have sex with.
most people cant handle one person.
I sort of figure the principles of personal liberty pretty much make it so that if N people where N > 1 want to play house, it's legit.
Yeah. I've always felt like that had it right.

Why not, they did it in the Bible.
