The only real problem with Polygamy is that it seems like a paperwork mess, and a whole bunch of new rules would have to be written in family law, divorce law, etc etc, insurance, spousal benefits, all of that would have to be rethought in fairly elaborate detail.

No, the real problem with Polygamy is that many men end up with no one available to marry. Women end up in relationships where they are dehumanized, neglected and the children are placed in competition with each other. Its major benefit is raising babies faster than any other system, which if you are on a war footing can be valuable, but otherwise, it just creates poverty and social turmoil.

I’m not in favor of forcing polygamy. Most men would only get 1 wife.

Ok, Polygamy, plus something for the many men who end up with no one available to marry, what do the men without wives want? Wives? Or, sex? Make sex health care. 1 bj a month from Obamacare.

How do women just “end up” married to a guy that already has a wife? These women are choosing a man with a wife already instead of the ready surplus of men. It’s on them. I’m against forcing women to marry a guy who already has a husband.

With polygamy, you aren’t talking about a crime against nature, you’re talking about changing numbers around.
