To think that someday soon I can go out in public with all my wives at once...of course, first I will have to tell them about each other...

Well, the Mormons seem to be pushing for acceptance of this across North America. You have that new TLC show, that focuses on a family, mostly portrayed in a positive light. Of course, in typical TLC fashion, they show a well off family...not the beat up trailer in the woods with 25 kids. (Same deal with the "little people" shows...always an affluent family, never someone struggling to deal with grim realities of life)

Myself, I am not very knowledgeable on the subject, other than random curiousity. I have tended toward the interpretation that it often results in exploitation of women...but I could be merely influenced by "feminist propoganda", or bias based on local cults which engaged in polygamy. I certainly have no first-hand experience.

I had heard that often it is very young girls who are introduced into these marriages, when they are easier to "train" and then control. However, the TLC show portrays this as mostly a choice made by more mature women. I have no statistics or information to show one or the other.

I am also aware that many other cultures allowed this sort of arrangement - in Ancient China, in certain sects of Islam, and others. Are some forms more acceptable than others?

So, there are a lot of questions to answer in this legal case.

There are many brands of polygamy - from the man who leads 2-3 different lives, with each ignorant of the others on one side to the religious-based relationships on the other.
Will this allow all forms of polygamy?
Will only Mormon polygamy be allowed or all religious/cultural polygamy be allowed?
Will a woman be able to marry multiple men?

So, any thoughts on any of this?
