The gay thing seems sorted, with ~120/~20 for and against it, so how do you feel about polygamous marriage?

Roughly by birth there is one man per one woman. This nature of things shows, and probably history of our species that we are meant to be monogamous.
Polygamy feels unjust in social settings. How come one woman can have few husbands and some will have none.
Freedom wise; I'm all for it. It should be legal. I love freedoms!
Equality, sharing wise; I'm against it. If it gets popular, it might create more problems than it's worth. I think we have examples of it already. Years back, all Mormons were polygamists, now only small excommunicated groups remain poly. I'd swear they have their black secrets, more than half of young men, or just men, can't find Mormon wives. They have to look for one outside and bring to Mormon faith. Mathematically speaking, if 50% of man have 2 wives then other 50 have none. This can't go on for long. If we had wars every generation and were losing half the male population every time, then yes it would make good sense.
Opposed. It is detrimental to social order in a variety of ways.
You are assuming that only men would have more than one partner. Women could have 2 husbands as well.Opposed. It degrades the social value of women.
It very stupid to kill off women. And there are more problems to this than you mentioned. There are lots of gangs of young men in China who have nothing better to do than rape, rob, kill...the officials are having serious problems with this. (no kidding) And surrounding countries are complaining because of the influx of Chinese Men who are emigrating in order to find women... This has always grated on me...until I thought of the good side of this! Take Saudi Arabia, they also kill their own women, there is about a million more men than women. AND THAT IS THE GOOD PART! They have no one to BREED with! Eventually there will be less of them. That way they can kill off themselves and maybe not come over here to kill us. I haven't forgotten about 9/11.Interesting thing develops now in China and India. Thanks to traditions and modern technology, fetuses of unwanted girls are killed, in favor on proffered boys. I think the ratio of mail to female is 100 to 90, respectively. 10% of men won't find a woman to live with. In case of India that's 50 million strong population of lonely man!
Cheers
The Mormons in Utah are polygamists and seem to live happily with it. It is a proof that polygamy can work in a Western society.
I don't know of any legal cases to prove right or wrong, but I can see one hell of a mess. Being divorce three times, the financial mess, fighting over the kids, and many other aspects. Who gets the house, cars, bank accounts...Knowing the way the law works, and how the Judge will see it, he most likely will only recognize the legal union. Way too complicated to get involved with sorting out an illegal union.Even though polygamy is forbidden in most western countries (maybe all), it already exists in form of Common Law unions/marriages. I think it can't be legally registered, but I guess a sharing of wealth if one quits the union is equal, like in registered marriage. All one has to do is to prove that lived with someone under one address for longer than 6 months in close relationship (in Canada). I wonder if there are some legal cases to prove me right.
