[QUOTE=ALBballer]If all adults consent to the marriage then why not?
:coleman:[/QUOTE]
It should be legal. Consenting adults should be able to choose how they live.
[QUOTE=G-train]Should a woman be allowed multiple husbands?[/QUOTE]
If every man in that relationship consents to it, who are we to deny them.
[QUOTE=ALBballer]instead of resorting to ad-hominems, get to the ****ing point.
:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
I agree here, I dont see the obvious problems with legalizing polygamy. Please explain it to us.
I think people like G-train are making the assumption it will become the standard.
This imo is wrong. I haven't had a single relationship where I would have been comfortable inviting another male into, nor the girl with inviting another female. imo Polygamy would be extremely rare, just like it is in cultures that allow it.
Some islamic countries still allow polygamy. Only the 1 male multiply female version. Only the uber rich men of society have more than 1 wife. most men in these society are forced to settle for one woman.
And this is the slippery slope that the h0m0s have led us to with their unholy matrimony

Why does it hurt you to let gay people get married? you arent gay, they arent making gay marriage mandatory.
Why does it hurt you to allow people get in polygamous relationships? Personally I think its stupid, and jealousy will wreck it for 99.9% of people. But why does it affect you? and why do you care if other people ruin their lives?
People need to get out of other peoples businesses.
Lol it ain't stopping anybody.
I know five dudes from Somalia who got 2 wives a piece and even the women see themselves as sisters.
Play on playa :rockon:
Polygamy is an excellent arrangement. On one hand, you have the rightful male leadership and can divy up the division of labor according to the wives' ages.
The older wife could be the mother hen; be responsible for bossing the younger wife around, and be the smarter, strong secondary income bringing, intellectual, seasoned lady; and the younger wife could be the energetic social connector bubbly personality type with the tight ass you can bounce a quarter off who would do more of the physical stuff for the kids. Fuarking hell I be so jealous of King Solomon and Montezuma so many times. You'd be surprised at how many women would be willing to share a man if he was cool enough. I thought they'd be mad until I deliberately pondered the question out loud... it can work with the right conditions. I mean hell normal monogamous marriage fails half to 3/4 of the time how often would polygamy steer course to all aboard the failboat?
They'd form a special bond too like a mentor-apprentice type deal. Have huge families Mormon style.
Had it not been at the detriment of other hardworking productive men then I'd be all for it. But unfortunately I can't turn my back on my brothers so I'mma have to agree with mavssuperfan and say yeah bro each dude gotta have one lady to sexually release and keep society spinnin otherwise we gonna have mad young poor schlubs jihading around.
Who knows? At the rise of the Metrosexual, homosexual, eunuch, and Japanese herbivore types and increasing amount of daughters; our society may resemble a Polygamous one. Good times ahead for those who have the willpower!
PS -
A wife having multiple husbands is PolyANDRY. It is seen in nature with certain birds. I'll find a link to a situation where there was a woman with a bald headed bearded guy she fukks and an older skinnier sentimental weaker guy who does all the chores and stuff.. Really fukked up but hey so is life.
Aren't there already certain religious groups settled in the US that have a polygamy based society?
I imagine to them, their polygamous marriage is official, and they just don't care about the tax benefits etc...
I would agree with most other posters here, it's illegal due to a mix of religious beliefs and certain people not wanting to pay taxes / benefits towards polygamous couples.
There may be some negative attitude towards having a one man with multiple women or vice versa but I don't think there have been enough studies either way to confirm or contradict that effect on raising a child in that type of environment. Sure I'd guess it would probably be weird since I'd imagine a man having multiple women partners would also be relatively rich and the power dynamic of said relationship would be heavily in favor of the guy. It would also be strange to see what kind of relationship a kid were to have with the other women in the house who are not his mother.
I did meet a guy from Africa at my job one time who said his uncle had 3 or 4 wives and multiple kids from them. With all the history of polygamy in the middle east and other parts of the world, there's got to be some university study somewhere documenting this.
Government can't handle the amount of p*ssy some guys would get :bowdown:
Wouldn't those same guys be doing the same thing without going through the hassle of marriage?

They would, or they would just cheat on their wives.

:biggums:
have you met women before?:lol
I wish what your were say were true though lol
I really see no problem with polygamous marriages. It doesn't hurt anybody. I also think marriage should be removed from state. Make domestic partnerships or something a legal thing, and marriages are separate. That way churches can celebrate however they want.

Don't be silly. You're better than that.
It's happened for thousands of years and it's happening right now. Young women would rather be a groupie for a big d!ck boss playah than a devoted wife to a loser or average man. BOOK IT.
And even wives with solid husbands fantasize about being the last lover of a celebrity.
All. The. Time.
And jealousy may hurt them, but they like it. For all intents and purposes, jealousy beats out boredom and stability.
It's dark but hypergamy was a necessary component of the animal instinct to survive. Just like us men's desire to dominate, kill, rape, and rule.

just to clarify, polygamy includes both polyandry and polygyny.
The reasons it was restricted are clearly religious, and anti-LDS, in nature. Now, we have all sorts of polygynous marriages where the second-tenth wives are counted as single mothers and actively "bleed the beast" with government benefits.
The FLDS is the worst at this. No one owns the house they live in, almost the entire family income goes into the church to get redistributed, etc. so these women appear on paper as destitute single mothers with 5+ kids. These churches make millions in govt benefits through this arrangement.
I think consensual polygamy should be legal and acknowledged. That would restrict these abuses (as well as illegal child marriages) and its really, really dumb that I can have kids with 5 different baby mama's but cannot be in a legally binding relationship with them. Most known human cultures have/had some form of plural marriage. Even the bible makes reference to multiple plural marriages. People act like our cultural ideas of marriage and jealousy are human universals, but that is definitely not the case. There is no natural form of marriage. In many polygynous societies, the wifes are their own closest friends and help out with household chores, child rearing, etc.
Also, you have a very shallow deterministic view of humanity J$. None of this is a human universal or state of nature. As for polyandry, check out fraternal polyandry, levirate marriage (not really polyandry), and the Nayar in India. [QUOTE]On reaching puberty, a woman could entertain an indefinite number of lovers, usually between three and eight, without any public concern over sexual fidelity or paternal responsibility, the two basic features of marriage in European societies. [/QUOTE]
it should be legal but you'll have rich ****** marrying every non obese chick. The non-rich man losses out.
But then again who wants multiple wives?
Interesting. And yes to that single mom "extended village" ordeal.
Will look into Antrhopology to braoden horizons.
Honestly I don't give a fukc what people want to do regarding marriage... but some of these religious polygamy setups are pretty disgusting. Just men raising and brainwashing young females to turn them into slaves.. ehem I mean wives.
