As long as there are no calls on the taxpayer to support them and all the kids, you can can do that now. Marriage is about privilege and state sanction = access to state support.

Nobody mentioned kids, or taxpayer support.

Polygamy is the practice of having more than one wife or husband at the same time.

Should it be legalised in Australia?

I can't see why not.

Good idea Greggy,
you get married to Greens_Win & John Smith & have threesomes every night!

Yep, that was a pretty ridiculous statement alright. And introducing children to the mix was just silly. I'm talking about marriage, not reproduction.

And there we go: only up to reply number 6, and already Sir Booby turns the thread gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There are two issues with polygamy. One is legal, and quite complex. The other is moral, which is not something that can be debated. Some people will not recognise this what ever is said.

Personally, I would say polygamy is immoral, and I do not follow a religion.

No political allegiance. No philosophy. No religion.
