When I hear people blowing off concerns about same-sex marriage, they generally laugh when I point out that the next step, inevitably, is polygamy. It doesn't occur to these wives that they could soon be part of the family team of wives. There is certainly more historical precedence for polygamy and polyamory than there is for homosexual marriage.

"Hi, Honey, I'm home! Guess what, I brought us home a new wife. You don't like the idea? Well, you could always get a divorce, but that'd mean dividing up our assets THREE ways."

That's what is happening here--a widow is being dragged into court to divide up her property among her husband's paramours. This widow is no longer THE wife, but only the first wife. Like the Muslims, all we have to do is repudiate the place of the first wife to make way for the second. Unlike the Muslims, it won't stop legally at four. Think this will be a good deal for your daughter? Either marriage means a thing, or it means nothing.
