Wait til Adam tells Eve that one.
They’ll have a good laugh at the judge’s expense.
Is this the same Jon Huntsman Sr. who has a son (JR.) that ran for president. The same Huntsmans who are distantly related to Mitt, but cannot stand him? That Jon Huntsman Sr.?
If so, I can accept that he, as a Mormon, would believe this to be true. Even though the religion officially disowned polygamy now, it has not been so very long that this was their natural status of righteous living.
I fail to see how that statement bolsters her 'rationale' for redefining marriage anyway.
What bosh. When even a few men can afford multiple wives, the ordinary man gets one, and a lot get none.
(See the “modern” Islamic world.)
I wonder if it is actually true. I know polygamy was existed in ancient times, but always assumed that like homosexuality it was something limited to the upper class. I cannot imagine that the average subsistence farmer in Europe/Asia feudal society or hunter gatherers in Africa/America’s could afford the luxury of a second wife. Even in the Muslim world, far as I know it was strictly something rich people do. I guess a society where man are routinely butchered in combat could be pressured to adopt this.
Judge is going to burn in hell
“that plural marriage is actually more traditional over time.”
Ah-huh. Assuming that is the case, how many of those traditional-over-time societies allowed for plural -same sex- marriages?
