Re: Questions?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think there's a problem with polygamy per se, but I think it does lead to a lot more legal obstacles. If more than two people can marry, where's the line? Three people in a single union? Four? Do they all love one another sexually, or is it one person with multiple partners (and does that make a difference)? If they have kids, how will custody cases work? What about taxing issues?

Again, I think if everyone is happy, consenting, and adult, do as you like. But I don't think the Western marriage as a legal institution can currently accommodate multi partner relationships, and I'm not sure it should. Either we rehaul marriage completely, or make it not a legal institution at all, or polygamists settle for only one relationship being legally recognized as marriage and the others can be non-legally recognized marriage. It's not a moral issue at all, it's just about the practicalities of the legal institution.

Yeah, I always find myself running up against questions about how things like spousal benefits, employer-provided health insurance, and various next-of-kin rights would work and then my head hurts.

I realize that some of these things are already issues even without legal plural marriage, like how some policies allow you to add adult relatives who are not your spouse or child, or if a widowed/otherwise unmarried person winds up unconscious in the hospital and his/her children can't agree on what to do then we've got a problem on our hands, but poly marriage just seems like it would make it all more even complicated.
