I believe "marriage" shouldn't even be a legal issue. It should be taken up with the church since it's a religious act.
It CAN be a religious act. But it definitely doesn't need to be. Atheists get married all the time.

You'll see it a lot if you look in the right places. And no I don't mean porn. This time.I think polygamy in its traditional form (multiple women, 1 man) is a slap in the face to equal rights for women. When do you ever see multiple men and 1 women? It's an obvious power move for the man with its deeply rooted religious ties.
I'm anti religious and polyamourous. If I had more than one serious partner it could be nice to have the option of marriage. If I believed in the idea of marriage at all.Anyone who is interested in polygamy is probably 99% interested in it due to religious reasons. If you really want to be with multiple women at a time, you don't need to get married to them to do that.
Its not a religious thing any more, its to do with the government and money but agreed that some sort of defined union allowing people equal rights could be better move.I believe "marriage" shouldn't even be a legal issue. It should be taken up with the church since it's a religious act. The state should create unions that carry all the legal benefits of being traditionally married. That being said, anyone should be able to marry (join/union) whomever they want and as many as they want as long as it doesn't interfere with other people.

That would lower the number of women who would opt for the latter option.
As a result, more losers would end up pussyless for the rest of their lives.
For women, it would mean more choices.

Um okay, I'll argue against polygamy just so that somebody on this thread is against it.
Let's say you have a group that practices polygamy. Okay, everybody agrees that the loser men don't get any. So what happens to the loser men? They get chased out or sent off to be killed (in the former, this is a huge problem in the polygamy colony located in British Columbia, I think its called Bountiful).
Somebody correct me if I am wrong in this, but societies that allow polygamy tend to be violent and engage in warfare.
If I recall correctly (and again I'm going by memory so I may be completely off), the Mormons didn't want to renounce polygamy but were forced to by neighboring states, who were pissed off at all the surplus men who were forced to emigrate out of Utah.
(Yeah, I think I oversimplified Mormon history there, but I'm trying to keep this essay under a thousand words).
Anyways, you'all smoking something if you think one guy in five can have four wives and the other four guys are just going to go off and masturbate in peace and not cause a ruckus.
