In most US cities, it's only legal for one man to be married to one woman. Do you think this should be?


Who out there cares if a guy marries two or more wives, or vise-versa? Is it really fair that normans should not legally live the way they feel is right?
BTW, would it make financial sense if say a younger couple in thier, say, late 20's be married to a couple in their early 40's? think about it. The older couple would benefit because when they retire, the younger couple would be thier hedge against inflation, the younger couple would probably outlive the older couple and inherit the older couples estate. What do you think?

I believe someone should be able to marry to as many partners as they choose whether they are a man, woman, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual. The law that forbids more than one spouse is a constitutional and moral transgression. In the constitution it states that church and state are seperated, the only set of ideals that this law applies to is the christian and jewish faiths. One's right to live as he pleases, guaranteed to him by birth and by the constitution, is also violated with this law. As far as the older couple and the younger couple, why would they need to be married to each other couldn't they have an agreement amongst themselves.

I said many not all. It was not an assumption it is a proven fact that many of the current poligamist families have one or more wives with children on welfare. Report Abuse

Mormons (not normans) do not believe in polygamy. Some breakaway sects believe in polygamy. It is illegal in all states and cities in the US, and should stay that way. Many of the illegal polygamist unions have the illegal wives drawing welfare and Medicaid off the government to support their many children. If the younger couple needs to be the older couples hedge against inflation there will be not estate to inherit.
