Should We Legalize Polygamy ?

Postby Xenunian Galactic Confederacy » Thu Aug 11, 2016 3:17 pm

Now that gay marriage is legalized, should we legalize polygamy ? My answer is yes. First, it is included in the Holy Scripture. In the Old Testament, many practiced polygamy. Therefore, I think we could practice it safely.
The concern I have with it is that only males could practice it. I would insist that females could practice it too. I think many females would be open to the notion of having say seven males living in there house. They could work and bring home there money to their wife.
So, what do you think N.Were ? Are you for it or against it ? How do you feel about having your wife in charge ?

Try dating two people simultaneously, while being completely open about your intentions with all parties, before you think that polygamy is for you. And just to be on the safe side, have them date another person as well (or even each other) because if it's good for the goose it's good for the gander.

Meh. I guess I lean towards legalisation of polygamy. I honestly don't get why people would want multiple spouses though. And yes, if it's going to be legal, it needs to be legal for women as well. It should also be legal for marriages with multiple men and women, e.g, 3 wives and 2 husbands and things like that.

Yes, but practical limits must be there. No more than 5 spouses, I say.

You can pretty much live together with any number of consenting adults you want. You can even call each other hubby or dear. What you can't do, though, is have your relationship have the legal benefits conferred by marriage. You can't file taxes jointly. You'd have a devil of a time with hospital visitation rights, inheritance, joint-ownership, child custody, etc.

Not my cup o' tea but yes. It should be legal. Some people can indeed love more than one person at the same time.

Sure. I've been in a polyamorous relationship. It worked out fine. (Not in it anymore, but that's beside the point) Just make sure it's all based on love, not the urge to bang 4 chicks at once. 8)

Yes. It is great for bisexuals, also for straight people who would want more than one partner.

No. Please no. The preservation of moral values is degenerating by the day, we don't need to speed it up to levels never before seen.
