    I can’t think of a moral basis why the state should be able to tell anyone they shouldn’t be able to marry multiple partners can you?

    Because when the wealthy men hoard all the wives it leaves an army of poor young men with no futures and nothing to do but get into trouble

    You think that’s likely in post scarcity societies like East Asia/North America etc?
    Birth rates and marriages are on the decline as it is

    It’s one of those things where people aren’t massively concerned to push for it.

    Legal/governmental logistic nightmare, too. Current system of spousal rights etc are all pretty clear and fit for two people. Divorce; splitting of assets; care of children etc… solid laws and practices would all need to be massively tweaked and tailored.

    All for the sake so Person A can marry B and C? Seems like a lot of hassle for something nobody truly cares about

    Although I think it can be done is a healthy way, my mind goes straight to the niggas who have a hoard of wives in a abusive damn near cultish like state.

    Plus the majority of people can't handle one spouse I dont think having 2+ is going to make things better even if it was legal
