[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even beyond any religious objections, polygamy is not a victimless crime. The laws against bigamy protect the first wife, who could lose most of the benefits and security of marriage without her consent. [/quote] If someone is victimized there are already laws in place to protect them. What [i]benefits [/i]would be stolen from the first wife? How would her [i]security[/i] be jeopardized?[/quote] Seriously? Marriage is a contract with shared benefits and responsibilities. The wife's share of the family property, retirement, and assets would be jeopardized, as would her children's share of support from the father, if he can just keep adding more wives and children. In most of these cases, the women do not earn much income on their own and are dependent on their husbands. The wives are only getting married once. It is the husbands who have multiple marriages.
