  • And how could this not be frowned upon by cultures such as Swedish where women and men are regarded as equals?

    Edit: It’s not about polygamy per se but about the women’s role this kind of polygamous marriage. I don’t know your family and it might work for everyone involved but that’s where her connection’s worry comes from.



  • To add to this: If both men and women are allowed to have multiple spouses (which is the only fair way to do it), how do you deal with situations where a husband has multiple wives who has multiple husbands who also have multiple spouses? This sounds like a nightmare from a legal perspective.

    I’m not saying I’m against polyamory, do whatever you want, as long as everybody involved is fine with it. It could work legally, if you could get married as a group of n people but then not marry other people individually. But that’s not how polygamy works in Quatar or worked for Mormons. There the husband marries several wives individually and the wives have no say in it.
