Subject: RE: BS: Polygamy a Protected Practice in Canada?
Perhaps if I were a member of such a community I might feel differently but as it is, I don't have a problem with someone having one 'legal' wife and multiple 'sister wives', as some in the Fundamentalist Mormon church are doing. Surely no law has an issue with someone committing to support any number of people.
However, within that same Fundamentalist group the sister wives and their children are supported, based upon their income, by the state. Given that, I can see how a state or city would find fault with the arrangement.
