+284 It's weird that polygamy is illegal considering it is legal to have kids with multiple women, but once you try to legally support multiple families it becomes illegal, amirite?

Polygamy is more than just financially supporting more than one family.

It's not illegal to support multiple families, it's illegal to get married to more than one person. Quite the reverse of what you said, there are many people who are legally obligated to support multiple families who don't even want to, because of divorce laws.

In most polygamy cases, the man is only legally married to his first wife while only being connected to the other wives through a non legally binding religious ceremony.

And because consenting adults should be able to marry whoever the fuck they want and it's nobody's business if that means several people, same-sex people, or just your average man-woman marriage.

While I personally don't really care how other people live their lives, I don't think I would want my husband to have other wives or be intimate with another woman.
