“What was protected under Article 25 (right to practice and propagate any religion) was the religious faith and not a practice which may run counter to public order, health or morality. Polygamy was not integral part of religion and monogamy was a reform within the power of the State under Article 25,” read the judgement from Supreme Court Justices T. S. Thakur and A. K. Goel.

Meanwhile it’s the next great “frontier” for marriage here in the USA.

Yup.

Saw a glowing report about “polyamory” in the Silicon Valley on CNN.

Seriously — it was ear-to-ear grinning and nodding.

I had read a report that in Utah some FLDS secretly marry multiple wives, but the taxpayers have to foot the bill to support those “single moms and their children”. That adds insult to injury.

That's why Muslims want Sharia law.

If a man made law conflicts with Sharia, it is void. - Tom

There have been huge exposes about welfare fraud as a result of this in Utah.

France and UK should do the same and enforce it!!!! Tens of thousands of muzzie multiple wives are ripping off their welfare systems. Tens of thousands of Muslim baby factories to take over Europe.

European taxpayers are paying for their own displacement and conquest by Islam
