Polygamy: More than one spouse.
Monogamy: One spouse - So if you're not married, -- [you're not
technically] -- monogamous.
Polyandry: More than one husband.
Monandry: One husband.
Polygyny: More than one wife.
Monogyny: One wife.
Bigamy: the criminal offense of marrying one person while still
legally married to another.
Trigamy: Having 3 spouses at one time (17th-19th Century England)*
From the modern legal perspective, Trigamy has been viewed as two
counts of Bigamy.
Polygamy should be legalized and we should be allowed to choose as
many spouses as we please. We should be allowed to form bigger
families than just two people and children.
Men should be allowed to have two or three wives if they want. Or
five or six or seven.
Women should be allowed to have two or three husbands if they want.
Or five or six or seven.
Who in the hell would only have ONE best friend.
Who in the hell would only have one person in their family who loved
them.
Polygamy is good for polyamory and free love.
Life *is* about loving relation****ps.
This solves the question of gay marriage also.
So you can have brother-husbands and sister-wives (when you marry your
spouse's spouse; a non-***ual friend/loved one of the same ***).
With Polygamy you should have to get your other spouse's(') consent
before you marry a subsequent spouse. If you don't get their consent
then it's Bigamy.
The question is how much of your wealth should be split when you
divorce. When you marry one person, you split it all and keep 50%.
When you marry two people, you split it three ways or keep 50% and
split 50% two ways. I'm with keeping 50% for myself I think. Also
you could be married to different numbers of people than your spouses,
if your spouses weren't married to each other, but you should only be
entitled to the same percentage of their wealth that they are entitled
to of yours.
If your spouse wants to marry someone, you can say "no" and they can
say let me marry another or divorce me, and you can say divorce me, or
"okay you can marry. "Or you can say that they can only marry the
other if you can marry the other also. Money may play a large role
here.
Like if your spouse is very rich, you might not want them marrying
another because there goes some of their wealth that you were entitled
to. Unless the person who they are going to marry is also very rich,
and you can marry them also.
If your spouses new spouse to be is as rich or richer than your
spouse, then you could place the condition on your spouses marriage,
that your spouse(s) can only marry the new spouse if you can marry the
new spouse also.
There are Mormons living in suburban Utah who are polygamous anyway,
and they should be allowed to have that legally recognized - marriage
is just for money. But if some girl is staying home and taking care of
your children she should be entitled to some of your money legally.
Thus legalized Polygamy is a necessity for people who cohabit in
groups as husbands and wives. Then everyone earns an more equal
percentage of the worker's earnings. As it is today, if a wife lives
as a second spouse of a married couple, and later divorces, she is
legally entitled to none of her husband's money. This is unfair.
The State shouldn't have to recognize marriage until whatever age it
specificies. In my preference, age 18, unless the girl is pregnant
and they get a waiver before a judge, that they are making their own
free choices and are cognizant like a 16 year old who gets
emancipated. But really, all marriage legally is, is a binding of
financial fortunes. Truly marriage exists in the hearts of all the
married people. If everyone makes about the same amount of money then
legal marriage doesn't even matter.
Polygamy is good for polyamory and free love. Free love is not all
inclusive, just less exclusive.
Life *is* about loving relation****ps.
Polygamy is good because there will be less divorce. This matters
when there's children. Instead of getting divorced you can get
another spouse, and wait until your kids are 18 and out of the house
and gone away to college. This is often better for the children.
It's good because the children have several mothers and several
fathers and more sup****t from adults. Families are richer and
stronger.
Okay hopefully we'll have marriage freedom in the near future.

*There was an old fellow of Lyme
Who lived with three wives at one time.
When asked, 'Why the third?'
He replied, 'One's absurd,
and bigamy, sir, is a crime.'
