Surely with more people in the household it would be economically feasible. All those bodies drawing in income to provide a good future for the children, and able to pump out more children before the women grow infertile

...

I've never heard a good argument against it other than it sometimes exploits women.

Well then, make exploiting women illegal, not polygamy. Consenting adults do as they please.

The problem is that it's tied to religion.

on a side note, this one is a real qt

Don't expect the Government to manage that contract. Marriage laws are already a clusterfuck with two people.

Big love was an awful program.

>implying the women wouldn't want you for themselves

Imagine a divorce in a polygamous marriage

Multiple contracts would probably be better than an all-inclusive contract. Unless someone draws up a comprehensive template-contract to better everyone's lives

Wouldn't having that many wives make it better than a single wife? Instead of taking 1/2 she takes 1/5?

Polygamy wouldn't work really. First of all it encourages the men with the most wealth to snatch up most the women. Look at Middle East, you have bunch of unmarried young men. They're angry because the older men get like four wives each, plus bunch of mistresses. They're stuck with nothing. If they had a family jihad wouldn't be a thing.

>Should polygamy be legal?
here is the britbong answer

More that one woman in your life? You must be a teen, masochist or plain stupid.

It's a burden but the outcome will often be passing on your genes to and raising more children than you otherwise would have.

In short, it increases crime, degrades women's rights, and promotes child abuse and murder.
Some quotes:
[Wealthy men had more wives than poor men.] While wealthy men had more total off- spring and longer reproductive careers (33 years for wealthy men compared to 22 for poor men), the chil- dren of poor men had better survival rates for their children to age 15. For poor men, 6.9 of their offspring(per wife) survived on average to age 15, while for wealthy men only 5.5 of their offspring (per wife) sur- vived to age 15. This is amazing, given that the poor men had less than 10 per cent of the wealth of the rich men
[...]
The reduced supply of unmarried women, who are absorbed into polygynous marriages, causes men of all ages to pursue younger and younger women. The competition also motivates men to use whatever connections, advantages or alliances they have in order to obtain wives, including striking financial and recipro- cal bargains with the fathers and brothers of unmarried females [...] More competition also motivates men to seek to control their female relatives (e.g. sisters), as demand for wives increases. This results in suppressing women’s freedoms, increasing gender inequality and stimulating domestic violence.
[...]
(i) creates competition among co-wives, (ii) expands the spousal age gap, (iii) decreases the relatedness within households, and (iv) reduces paternity certainty (which increases male sexual jealousy). Allocations of household resources to another wife’s children mean fewer resources for one’s own children. [...] Polygynous marriages also create elevated risks of intra-household abuse, neglect and homicide

did u see her porn?

no

google chloe svengly or w/e her name is and porn and u can see her swallow a l0ad

Why does the goberment needs to regulate marriages at all though?
Just make an inheritance and that's it.

Its Biblically okay. So no real reason religiously to ban it. Many wives, one Husband. Its the divorcement that God got upset with. There is only one reason anyone can get divorced and that is fornication.

Marriage is one man and one woman in the Bible
Our laws should coincide with biblical morality

...

I'm not sure American women are comfortable being in a fucking house with other women. See Twitter for instance. Imagine several Twitter women in the same fucking house. nigga, you'd have to be swingers or some shit.

Question: Why did God allow polygamy / bigamy in the Bible?

Polygamy is not God's intent for marriage

Sure, why not

The idea of a stable family is fucked now, parents who are married are desperately clinging to moral values.

Now we have single mothers because men are betas who leve their partner and child

Then theres faggot families who cant offer a caring mother figure, or dykes who cant offer a strong masculine figure

Then theres the race mixers who tear apart their childrens identity because they cant process who they really are

So why not watch as your father fucks multiple men to teach them: if you dont like it, get another.

Because why commit to anything right? Just show no emotion to anything, dont see value, dont care for one person who you love. Just do what the fuck you want and disregard everything else

WHY WONT RUSSIA JUST LAUNCH THE FUCKING NUKES NOW!!!!!!

TV show by jews designed to deride American Christianity. Imagine if there was a show on TV about a cabal of jews, such as a show about a Hassidic family - where the wife is forced to wear a wig, and incest and sexual abuse is rampant. Just imagine.

Alpha... as... fuck.

Just make it legal to buy women eggs and surrogate mothers.

>Big love was an awful program
Agreed. shit made me cringe so hard my neck hurt

HBO should stick to what they know best. Midgets, rapists, blatant feminist propaganda, and flaccid penises on screen every seven minutes or lest

Might have better luck in Utah, but these days even there it might be tricky.

Wasn't that from some shit art house movie she did with that faggot guy?
