Ditto. And polygamy (or polygyny, or polyandry) are actually forbidden in Islam, *except* under fairly specific and strict circumstances. Muslims ignore those circumstances all the time, and bend the rules in certain countries. Besides - pp is talking about religious, vs. civil marriage - the two are not the same.

As long as consenting adults make their own decisions without harming another individual, then I don't really care what people decide to do, to be happy in their lives.

You are being disingenuous.  Polyandry is not even discussed in Islam.  Polygyny is allowed without restrictions except on number and equal provision for each.  It is most certainly not forbidden.

Also, Islam doesn't have a distinction between civil and religious marriage, [b]all marriages in Islam are religious[/b]. No nikah = no marriage. [/quote]

Now you are being disingenuous.

Because this has no relevance when it comes to matters of legal/civil marriage (which Muslims most certainly take advantage of, and rightfully so). Are you married? So you only had an Islamic marriage, and are not married when it comes to matters of the law? You wouldn't be a hypocrite, would you?

Dear Muslima,
Cut the snark and insults (you only lose credibility) and stop digressing (the topic, obv., is marriage within Islam).
Sincerely,
A different poster[/quote]

Huh? I'm the pp in your last quote, and I am definitely not Muslima. I am strongly in favor of LGBT rights (as someone who comes from a Muslim background), but am tired of the irrational arguments against it. I've yet to hear one explanation against it, that has any holding when you break it down. [/quote]
