It's interesting that the USA with its supposed religious freedom
suppressed LDS polygamy and also doesn't recognize Islamic polygamy,
although men having (up to) four wives is a part of the religion of
1.61 billion Muslims.
theocracy violates the separation of church and state. there are
limits to religious freedom, otherwise any one can claim to be the next
joseph smith and prophecize that any child can be forced into marriage
before they even hit puberty. i watch big love and poor bill
hendrickson had to take multiple does of viagra a day. it's hard
enough (no pun intended) to satisfy just one woman. polyandry makes a
lot more sense, but has been only practiced in one society, that i know
about.
the question i have is, since the genders are close to evenly balanced,
what happens to the left overs...
