Offers a legal and historical context for reforming family law and legalizing plural marriage
Polygamous marriages are currently recognized in nearly fifty countries worldwide. Although polygamy is technically illegal in the United States, it is practiced by members of some religious communities and a growing number of other “poly” groups. In the radically changing and increasingly multicultural world in which we live, the time has come to define polygamous marriage and address its legal feasibilities.

Gay marriage has made polygamy seem almost tame. I suppose that was the point.
I guess the founder of the GOP did not get that message. The founding planks of the Republican party; “to prohibit … those twin relics of barbarism: polygamy and slavery.”
We won’t be free until people with multiple personalities can marry their other selves!
>>I remember that Traditionalists were mocked by the LGBT community and the MSM that the arguments used to identify a so called Constitutional right to gay marriage can be used to legalize polygamy. <<
I have NEVER seen a reasonable answer to the question of, given the “rationale” of gay “marriage,” why not incest marriages, polygamy/polyandry, etc. Any number of 2:n people of any sex/gender is allowed under the rules for gay “marriage.”
I am surprised it has taken this long.
Marriage as an institution in the USA died after the very first state sanctioned gay “marriage.”
Might as well just go to child marriage (any age), zoonotic marriage (animals), and PIAPS marriage (beasts who look like HRDC).
mist of us get our just rewards in the next life —— (but a polygamist gets his punishment right here on this earth)
If 'one man, one woman," could be changed to 'any two people,' I don't see why the number is set in stone either. It is, after all, consenting adults.
Having multiple wives would also mean having multiple mothers-in-law.These people are clearly insane.
Sharia law is next
What’s the end game here? That the whole world - young, old; mankind, beast - engage in 24/7 orgy?
muslims will be so happy...
...and having multiple wives would also mean having multiple wives - which is even MORE insane.
The divorce trials will be tricky
The government should never have been involved in marriage, which is a religious right, in the first place.
For years it wasn’t. Then they got the bright idea that they could increase control if they did
I see your point!
Secular marriage no longer has any meaning. You cannot quantify or qualify love.
Marriage is and always was about establishing a family unit to raise children. Nothing more, nothing less.
In Australia they are already arguing for group marriage, where two bisexual men can marry two bisexual woman.
It’s coming here, a total destruction of the nuclear family, all caused by Anthony Kennedy and the four other insane evil liberal justices on the ‘supreme’ court.
Once the infidels have completely hit rock bottom it will be easier to control them or....
S & G or Islam? Which comes first?
The devil got an upper hand when Clinton/Obama got in.
Society and individuals can either make up their own rules or follow God’s commandments.
Choice is either 60 to 100 years now or life with God for eternity.
When Jesus came, he elevated matrimony to the same status it had originally possessed between Adam and Eve—the status of a sacrament. Thus, any valid marriage between two baptized people is a sacramental marriage and, once consummated, cannot be dissolved. Jesus, therefore, taught that if anyone so married divorces and remarries, that person is living in perpetual adultery, a state of mortal sin.
He said, “Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery” (Luke 16:18; cf. Mark 10:11–12).
God’s Peace be with you.
