LBGT marriage rights vs Polygamist marriage rights?

[Boiler 45,434]

But who would oversee the divison of property, child custody and child support issues?

People share property, I share property with my Brother, we are not married.

Company owners share property, shareholders, no need to bring marriage into this.

Lots of people are together without being married.

Child custody and support is a completely separate issue, believe it or not they arise with or with out marriage.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Take marriage out of a polygamy thread?

I trust everyone missed the bit in the article I posted earlier that plural marriage was the original state of things.

Readin' really ain't my thing.

It has everything t do with the situation, the nature of relationships and the names people call them.

Nobody is saying you can not have 6 girl friends, the issue seemingly is that you are not allowed to be able to call them 'wives'.

Which is silly.

Yeah just what I need, 5 wives griping at me instead of one.

I wonder what the OP's thoughts are on this.

I trust everyone missed the bit in the article I posted earlier that plural marriage was the original state of things. Monogamous, heterosexual marriage came after...

Then you advocate there being no family laws at all. I'm not sure that's a brilliant state of affairs really.

I usually don't read articles you post.

I advocate equality to all.

I wonder how the people that pushed for doma's demise couldn't see this being the next 'equality' in marriage argument.

the same people that do now.

It's the other way around. DOMA is far more recent than polygamy.

The history of polygamy dates back to a long time ago, since this has been practiced for many centuries by cultures from all over the world. The Hebrew society has partially accepted polygamy and there are traces that say that it happened in the classical China too. The polygamy was also encountered sporadically at the Native Americans, in the West African continent, Polynesia, India and the ancient Greece.
