We have an interesting episode that has developed in Germany. Various asylum seekers come and go. So, one day, there’s this guy from Iraq who shows up with two wives....asking the Germans for asylum for himself and wife one, and wife two.
A court had to get involved, and eventually wrote a legal paper that said....for the time being, wife one and two could be issued visas with the husband. They simply noted, later on...an assessment ought to occur over the legality of benefits by the German system (this was not the question posed so they couldn’t go too far on a legal opinion). That was 2003. So, presently in Germany....two wives are legal, if the marriage occurred in a Muslim country.
Looking at Polygamy...I’d say that the door is wide open now and only a matter of time. Find one state where marijuana is legal....get it on the ballot, and it’s fifty-fifty odds that it’ll pass. Once accepted in one state...the rest will be challenged day after day. Threesome marriages, in my humble opinion....will be a regular thing by 2030.
The question here is....what’s next after that?
Once you:
- Have an empty stomach and
- Are not drinking anything and
- Are not using a work computer
Google polyamory. That’s next.
After that, it’ll be incest, children, animals and inanimate objects (I only wish I was kidding).
Once those come to pass, the institution of marriage will be destroyed for good. Marriages will be made and divorces will happen at light speed with no consequences.
Well, with one consequence: If you’re a white man divorcing a wife you’ll still be expected to pay alimony. That will NEVER go away.
Threesome marriages, in my humble opinion....will be a regular thing by 2030.
in addition to this discussion “ did you know that marriage used to be just between a man and a woman” as if it’s some archaic remnant of the past..
