The question isn't whether it's sick.

The law is forced to make a decision somewhere.  Should it allow kids?  Marriage licenses?  And if not, on what basis should they be refused?

Based on the same reason polygamy is illegal - it'ss been shown to be unhealthy (or at least that's what some on the forum had argued when I said I thought it could be ok.  Then people gave statistics of spousal abuse, and I was willing to accept polygamy as illegal).

If there's spousal abuse involved why cant just prosecute for that?

That's what I said, but some on the forum (and at the time, it was Democrats) argued against polygamy.

     I guess the problem with that is you would end up introducing a wave of new spousal abuse cases to the legal system that would slow it down (especially in Utah Tongue).
