[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Because polygamy is often - though not always - connected to coercion/abuse of the women and marriage of underage women. 2. To protect the children that would be raised in polygamous households. 3. Common property right and the benefits related to marriage would be murky with multiple spouses all having equal claims. Wife #1 has the same rights as Wives #2 and #3 in the eyes of the law.[/quote] +1! It's repressive against women and kids who are generally treated as little more than property in such situations. Who here has had to sit through setting a "bridal price" (a monetary "price" the husband pays the father for the daughter/wife)? [/quote]
