Polygamy
[quote]po·lyg·a·my noun \-mē\
: the state or practice of being married to more than one person at the same time[/quote]
This is something I don't see many folks discuss. I believe there's nothing wrong with it. We're all sapient and fully consenting to the contract, why ban something that makes you happy and doesn't endanger others in any way?
Should the practice of polygamy ever be legalized? If so, why? If not, why?

Just because I don't agree to it does not mean I don't think it might be fun.

Could not care less about what people want to do relationship wise.

I have no idea why people are so against it. I wouldn't personally do it, but I don't think its wrong to want to.

Humans exist more peacefully in monogamy because there is no need for taking additional mates, and since we no longer need alpha-male genes to ensure our survival as a species, polygamy is primitive and useless.

11 RepliesI'm absolutely against it morally like gay marriage. But people should be allowed to do whatever they want. But legality and social acceptability/morality are two separate things.

It's bait for fraud. I just don't see any way to make it legal without it being abused.

Taxes are a bitch then

Eh, I guess you could legalize it, but I don't really care. Can't help but feel it's gotta be weird for the kids, though.

I imagine legalizing it would be like legalizing fraud. Financial benefits for 3+ people seems like it could be easily abused.

From what I recall humans typically do not do well when in a single relationship for a long period of time. Not to say it's impossible, but it is certainly stressful on many people. Some people actually enjoy their lives much more in polygamous relationships, and I can't fault them for that. I just don't see anything wrong with it.

When you're married under a Church and divorce that person without getting an annulment, I consider that to be polygamy. Why? Under the Christian church when two people come together it's literally taken as one person.
