Why shuld the govment tell me how many wife I can have. If I have only one it make it much more difficult for everyone. With more than one, everyone can share the work in the house and to pay the bill and we all have more time for whoppie!

On the one hand, we have the problems in India and China due to a shortage of women. The idiots who practice female feticide are now reaping what they sow as bands of young men steal women from villages because there are too few wives to go around.

On the other hand, the US does have laws that require the woman to have a say in her marriage. This is unlike Saudi Arabia or other countries where the average car has more rights than the average woman. If she does not CONSENT to the marriage, it is null. If she is forced into the marriage by violence or other means of coercision, she is no longer consenting. If she is not able to consent via law (underage, mentally deficient), the marriage is void. If the marriage is obtained through trickery, i.e. she marries thinking she's a singleton and there are many, she would have excellent grounds for a divorce.

Are we all operating under the delusion that being married keeps you from cheating? Already in society, the powerful are able to access more mates than the poor. Why not legitimize it? No man or woman has a RIGHT to a mate.
