[quote]po·lyg·a·my noun \-mē\
: the state or practice of being married to more than one person at the same time[/quote]
This is something I don't see many folks discuss. I believe there's nothing wrong with it. We're all sapient and fully consenting to the contract, why ban something that makes you happy and doesn't endanger others in any way?
Should the practice of polygamy ever be legalized? If so, why? If not, why?

Edited by Progo: 10/7/2013 7:44:14 PMTake a look at Fundamentalist Mormons, they have to expel young men in order to have extra wives for the greybeards, which doesn't make sense on a natural level since technically the young-bloods (from a biological point of view) should kill the older and weaker competition and claim their mates. Humans exist more peacefully in monogamy because there is no need for taking additional mates, and since we no longer need alpha-male genes to ensure our survival as a species, polygamy is primitive and useless.
