we ain't done this one in a bit, POLYGAMY!

[politicallefty]

Insofar as all parties are in absolute full consent above the age of majority, I have no objections. (I do not condone religious cults like the FLDS that force children into marriage that is essentially tantamount to child rape.) I have no moral qualms about polygamy (regardless of gender, whether it be polygyny, polyandry, polygynandry, or any other form of group marriage). However, considering there is no constitutional basis for such a right, I have serious trouble seeing how it works within any current Western legal framework. Until it can be shown to be easily integrated into Western law, I think polygamy should probably remain on the back burner in terms of liberty issues. However, to be honest, I really cannot make predictions on the issue until the first Western country moves forward with legislation.

To ask a bold question here: what will be the first Western country to legalize polygamy in a secular context (and, fwiw, I do not think that day is too far away)?
