Divide them in thirds? If one wife dies, do the other two each claim half of her share, or does that third go away?<BR/><BR/>Polygamy is not the same thing as gay marriage. I understand why people keep bringing them up together, but the rationale for legalizing one does not demand legalizing the other, and I don't see polygamy advocates finding much success. Changing the gender of one of the participants changes very little about how marriage works, at least from a legal standpoint. Changing the number, though--that changes everything.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599030959604499896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649675.post-1144792720030271262006-04-11T16:58:00.000-05:002006-04-11T16:58:00.000-05:00Then in 50 years!
