If we're talking a bunch of consenting adults, it's not my cup of tea but have at it.
It's where you get these compound "prophets" who use their community standing to marry 14 year olds and engage in abuse behind the guise of polygamy where it becomes an issue IMO.

Like gay marriage, there is zero legit reason it should be illegal.
Just wait it's coming. Once the gay marriage issue is finally done, there will be virtually no limit on who can marry short of perhaps age of consent. Just about any outlandish union you can think of will be possible. For example if a mom wants to marry her grown daughter, what's the argument to stop them? Hell, if she wants to marry multiple offspring, both sons & daughters, there will be no valid argument left to stand in their way. Basically marriage will be whatever the people in each marriage want it to be with almost limit on the possibilities of what that will entail.

Why is it illegal?
I have absolutely no idea, other than the legal headaches, why this is illegal.
First you have all the tax issues that would come similar to the amount of children poor people have multiplying their government handouts.
It would also have serious legal ramifications for marriage and parenthood. Does your estate split evenly when you die? What about 890 usufructs? Does length of marriage matter? What if you get divorced form one but not all of them? How do you determine alimony? Etc...
Who is the real legal parent of the child? Do you require blood tests at birth? Can each mother adopt the child? What about child and spousal support? If one of the women is rich does she have to pay alimony to all the other women and the man when they divorce? etc....
These are all reasons government marriage really should not exist. It exists out of pure simplicity and tradition. Marriage should be left to religions. Let adults enter into contracts for everything else. Wills, insurance, house notes, car notes, bank accounts, etc.. etc.. can all be handled with contracts.

Honest reasons are that in Utah, some of the fundamentalist Mormons kick out young boys (13-16) of the compound so they can marry all the young girls.
Another reason is what in the frick would taxes look like? Divorce?

Why is it illegal? IMO if a guy wants more than 1 wife, can afford it and he can put up with multiple women nagging at the same time good for him.
If you end up with a bunch of 4s and 5s. No thank you I'll take one hot wife over 4 below average women.

Incest laws that are totally independent of a gay marriage law?
Posted on 2/18/15 at 1:21 pm to Breesus
Morality is no legit reason for it to be illegal, but it seems like a ton of logistical/legal reasons for this not to be a good idea. If I marry 1000 women, does my insurer have to cover them all? People would definitely take advantage.

why should 2 men not related be allowed to marry but not a man and his grown consenting son?

I have no problem with that because they can't have children. But you cant allow same sex parents and children to wed because it will cause birth defects.

Yes they are independent but what's the basis of those laws? Morality. Gay marriage was illegal because homosexuality is traditionally seen as being immoral and unnatural. The same is true for incest. It's seen as being immoral and unnatural. Well, with the passage of gay marriage rights, the basis of a union being illegal based on moral grounds is no longer valid. Now that marriage is no longer limited to a man and woman means that going forward, the concept of marriage is very much open to whatever people want it to be. I'm not saying gay marriage is right or wrong, only pointing out that once it becomes the law of the land, we've opened up a Pandora's Box of all sorts of possibilities when it comes to the definition of marriage.

I think it is illegal to prevent Mormons and Muslims from taking over the country. Bin Laden is said to have between 20 & 26 children with his multiple wives. If each of his 20 children have 20 kids before you know it you have enough Bin Laden offspring to fill up New York.
Mormons just try to have 15 freaking kids for each married couple now. If polygamy wasn't illegal some of the mormon men would have more kids that Osama.

Those fricks always end up having 19 kids and joining cults. I'd rather not have my tax money going to feeding and housing them.

Polygamy has been illegal in this country since the earliest white settlements were established which was long before there was such a thing as the Mormon Church and the idea of a Muslim living here was about as remote as you moving to Mars.

What if a woman has more than one husband?

Even if you dump the morality portion of an incest law, it likely still stands because of the genetic issues when an incestual family reproduces. Incest laws aren't going anywhere even if you allow gay marriage or polygamy.

No, I don't see that ever becoming legal as there is no way for an animal to give it's consent.
