Lol! Good question. I would think that they are all married to each other.

Well then he is not the man for you, but another woman might not have a problem with sharing. :shrug: You could leave that man.

isnt it a kind of attack against the family union?

men will begin to abuse this right and their polygamic desire will have been approved by government .another excuse for divorces..

at least they wouldnt be nasty enough to do it legally before.

How are they going to abuse it? Just give me an example.

Like I said though, I don't think it would become the norm.

Well no. There aren't enough women, after all :). So we would have two norms in a polygamous society (just like they do in other polygamous societies). Wealthy successful men with multiple wives, and unsuccessful, angry, embittered men with no attachment to the future.

Don't women outnumber men?

Edit: Oh and cp, less single moms that way.

l said it in that post

they usually cheat on their wifes .and they will think they have the right to do it legally and the other women probably wont accept it and it will cause a divorce . and men will never feel guilty for their polygamic perversions because they are governmentapproved

so jealous and vindictive women are the reason not to have polygamy?

Good Lord Medusa, that happens all the time as it is in relationships. I really don't see a difference is. If a man is going to cheat, he's going to cheat. The marriage situation of whether he is married to one woman or multiple makes no difference at all IMO. I don't see the connection here.

?? Umm..men aren't going to be thinking that way. If they want to cheat they are just going to do it like they do now.

no on the contary ,men being polygamic monsters
Click to expand...

How are they monsters? If the women agree to the situation, then they are certainly NOT monsters. If they are forcing little girls to marry them, then they ARE monsters, but I am suggesting nothing of the sort. That is STILL illegal here in this country. You are certainly underestimating the intelligence of adult women to make their own decisions. Just because something isn't right for you doesn't mean it isn't right for someone else. :roll:

but it will be legalized..cant you see any difference ?

man will want to marry another woman as well as the first one and the first wife will have to leave him ..at least he wouldnt be encouraged to marry ! before

is it hard to see it ..

Barely. But you still can't keep up with the math. If only 3% of men each have 4 wives, that's a little under 12% of women taken, meaning that (again, roughly) you've just turned 9% of your male populace into those "unsuccessful, angry, embittered men with no attachment to the future". That is dangerous, not least for women.

Oh and cp, less single moms that way.

Given that most single moms had their child with a father who would be unable to financially support multiple wives, I would doubt that we would see a significant decrease in single parenthood. Regardless, my answer to that stays the same - falling off the horse on the left does not justify falling off of it on the right. :)

l have seen lots of marriages ended in divorce because some islamist monsters wanted to live with other women because they thought it was their religious right given by god
imagine it will be a legalized action

It doesn't make a difference if he is a cheater Medusa. He's going to cheat regardless. It doesn't matter if he is married to one woman or multiple women. Men cheat NOW Medusa, so do women. People who TRULY love their spouse in that way would NOT cheat if that is the situation they wish to be in.

Polygamy isn't forcing anyone to cheat, just like two-person marriage isn't forcing anyone to be monogamous. That is a choice that an individual makes.

why couldn't a woman have multiple husbands? Its polygamy not misogyny. are women not monstrous for doing this exact same thing

No, but it is unlikely to be an equally two-way street. The number of men who would want multiple wives is large, the number of women who would want multiple husbands comparatively very small.

l dont want legalized cheating which will encourage those men

I am not suggesting that someone who married someone as a monogamous two-person marriage be allowed to suddenly bring in other wives. I am suggesting that if three or four people decide together that they want to be married, they should be able to do that.

the people that cheat NOW cheat because thats what they do, they will not be effected by polygamy

also in many studies they find woman CHEAT more than men but men get CAUGHT more. :)

There will be less single moms because all of those rich men will be marrying them, and the poor men who can't take care of even one wife would be SOL. Call it social justice if you will. :mrgreen:
