i just don't see how it "protects the women and children" to legalise polygamy. it's certainly not the first option that came to my mind, nor is it the only one.

i may not be canadian, but i have enough understanding of common law and civil law and international law to have a decent stab at the framework of human rights and so forth at play there.

true polyamory is quite different from "religiously premissive plural conjugation" ... [aka parallel, male-centric sexual relationships clothed in the mantle of "god says it's ok/required"]

nor do i see any reason to relax age and other requirements that would apply to any/every other marriage.


i agree with richard dawkins more often than not - religion has been allowed a peculiar position in society - one that would be considered unjust, unlawful, and just plain unbelieveable if it were anything else.
