Is this any worse than gay marriages?
As long as the mariage is between two consenting adults, I don't have a problem with it. Worry about your own lives before you start worrying about others...la
From the article:
"Allen helped enact a child bigamy law in 2003 that made forced marriages of minors a second-degree felony punishable by one to 15 years in prison. Before, the offense carried only 30 days in jail, and was rarely enforced, Allen said. He said the marrying of teenage girls was a common practice among some of Utah's isolated polygamist communities until the state served notice it was cracking down. The book, written by Salt Lake City author Andrea Moore-Emmett, tells the stories of 18 women who claim they suffered rape, incest and violence in polygamous communities."
Yeah, that's worse.
While I don't see polygamy as a good practice, unlike homosexual marriage, it does have significant historical, social and religious president. Gay marriage has none.
If you allow one you will have to allow the other.
