First off, let me say that this is no way to bash or degrade those that choose the path of polygamy for religious purposes or any other purpose, so be sure to leave out any snarky comments. I am hoping this is can become a true discussion without involving any religious beliefs. I know we all have our views on whether it is morally wrong or not but this is to see if it can physically work for everyone involved.
I heard this on the Steve Harvey radio show this morning. One of his loyal listeners from South Africa had mentioned that their president has 20 kids and 5 wives. So their hot topic was, if it was legalized, can polygamy really work? Later I will share some of the listeners views. They may surprise you. By the way, this stemmed from Steve Harvey making a comment that AA men would not want multiple wives for many reasons. Unfortunately, I missed that part of the show, so I did not get to hear the reasons.
If the US legalized polygamy, do you personally think it can work?
Who has the advantage? Disadvantage? Can the roles be reversed where the woman has multiple husbands? Would this lead to men sticking around and taking care of their multiple wives and children?
Thoughts?
