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
).
