Should polygamy be illegal?

[Mrs. Tuberski]

BC Is that something, a will can clarify?? Including appointing an excuator that will be responsible to disperse the estate to all those listed as heirs etc?? Im sure the survivor benefits as far as I know list this man as the childs father, the mother in question will recieve benefits in that childs name

There are several aspects in this. Primarily, any questions about common childrens are void. Same for certain insurances (actually, you can have a life insurance bout if you aren't married with the person you have lived with for the past 20 years, you get zero ) .

And no (I guess it's bad english to start a sentence this way ) wills can only in special circumstances redirect things.

Oh, don't take me as a witness in an american court, all I have written concerns danish legalty

[Mrs. Tuberski]

I thought as long as you are the benefaciary on that life insurance nothing except foul play could not let you get it. Goes to show How much I might know bout life insurance

Dis Last I checked Woman outpopulated then men.

Mostly because tehy live older. There are more boys born than girls (strange as it may seem).
Now anyone read Typee? It seems polyandry did happen where a woman had an old (rich) husband and a younger husband.

Problem is, under current law, if x goes into debt, the creditor can go after Y's assets. Which presumably means Y can be forced to use Ts assets to pay off X's debt, even though T never consented to the marriag to X.

You've seen a way out, I hope. You change the law so that creditors can only attach for those with privity of marriage contract with the individual. So they can only go after who X entered into a marriage contract with.

I've always heard women are 51% of the birthrate.

It's the opposite. 105 males for 100 females. But males tend to die younger thus there tends to be a balance when children reach adulthood. Afterwards, wars and old age are also harder on men thus there are more women. We should therefore allow polygamy so the male newborns who will die at 2 can marry two old maidens who're almost a century old and would otherwise never enjoy marriage.

Since an alleged reduction in violence is your standard and not freedom, why not just force women to marry men they dont want to marry?

because that would fall the other way as well, forcing men to marry women they don't want to marry. If you want to forment a violent revolution, This could be the way to go.

in most countries where polygamy is actually practiced, it tends to be a tool for male domination.

Which is why I'm not a strong supporter of legalization of polygamy.

it makes no sense to me, but what do I know about women.

It seems to me when you have more women than men, they can gang up on the man. How could the man abuse the women?

The fact that in many countries, that one, single man has ultimate authority over all of his "wives" in similar vein that a single slaveowner held control over all of his slaves on his plantation.

Just because the master is outnumbered, does not mean he lacks resources and means to exert his control.

my poll doesn't refer to 3rd world and middle eastern countries that treat women like dog****, and they have the laws to back them up. Women can't do **** in Africa, or the middle east. The laws are against them.

The poll mainly refers to the countries most of us live in. U.S., Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, bunch of weird scandinavian folks, China, Japan, S. Korea, France, Greece. I think that's most of them. There are a few posters from other countries than those.

A workable polygamy should work like the EU: unanimity must be had for every new member in the union

and unanimity for every major decision.
