Thread Name: BS: Polygamy a Protected Practice in Canada?
Subject: RE: BS: Polygamy a Protected Practice in Canada?
A GUEST said, in part:
Why not make it legal for anyone who *wants to* to have multiple marriage partners (so long as all are consenting), not only male members of one made-up American cult?
Like it or not, Guest, ALL religions are "made-up".
And while the Latter Day Saints started in America, it's far from limited to the United States today.
I take it that your "not only male members" etc. means you'd favor public marriage rules that would allow polyandry, or multiple husbands to a wife, if multiple wives are to be allowed. If so, I'd go along with you.
