I sincerely believe that the law against polygamy serves as both a deterrent and an equalizer between the sexes. Encouraging monogamy in marriage, while allowing women to maintin their rights in divorce, helps protect the whole family as you can see by my example above. <br /><br />Mister Sister Blogger, thanks again for allowing us all to freely post our thoughts.

Several years later, the husband changes his will to have all his property go to his oldest son, who will need it the most because of all the wives and children he will have. And the husband and the oldest son lobby the legislature to change intestate laws as they apply to polygamists so that when a husband dies all the property goes to the oldest son. After all, if there are 3 wives or more, the property will be divided and reduced so much that it will cost more to go to probate court than what each wife will get. Plus, there won’t be anything left for the children because it will all go to the surviving wives which is not fair since they have the other wives to take care of them. The legislature buys this logical argument and disinherits polygamous wives as well. And so it goes with social security survivor’s benefits or other benefits that go to widows. After all, the social security system is running out of money and survivor’s benefits were not part of the original package. So plural wives will have to rely on their other wives if the husband dies, not social security or an inheritance.Female Attorneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-26527201843216538902011-08-10T21:45:41.666-04:002011-08-10T21:45:41.666-04:00THOUGHTS ON LEGALIZED POLYGAMY

Oh, no… now there is a possibility that the husband’s property might be divided and the second wife will get half! Well, the third wife doesn’t like that. She has not been that happy lately, and she wants her freedom and a share of the property, too. So she files for divorce, too. Now the court is clogged with 2 divorces against the same man, as if the courts don’t already have enough divorce cases! But wait, the fourth wife is the favorite wife and she doesn’t want the family broken up so she intervenes, objecting to the divorce. It is disruptive to the kids, and she doesn’t want to lose the companionship of the two wives. (What she really wants is to keep the free baby-sitters and her position as the favorite wife.) Now the Judge is stumped. And she looks at the husband and says, “what do you want?” Now, he says that he loves all his wives and he doesn’t want to get divorced. Plus, he is just one man, and he has to face 2 divorces at the same time. So the judge says that only one divorce can proceed because this is fair to the husband and reduces the court load. But the second and third wife can’t agree which one is to proceed. So the judge says that the husband must be in agreement, too. Both cases are then thrown out of court until they can reach an agreement as to which divorce should proceed.<br /><br />NOW WHAT?? The second wife, who is more educated and the least attractive, finally convinces the husband to agree to divorce her. So they file for a divorce, just the two of them. She asks for property division, alimony, custody, and child support. But the husband objects and he uses testimony from the other wives to support his case. This is what they say. The husband is already dividing his time among 3 wives and many children, and if the children of the second wife are removed from the home, all the children will end up seeing even less of their father, even the ones left behind. The children should not go with their biological mother but stay with their other 3 mothers and siblings and their father. They love the children so much and would be able to continue the education into the polygamous religion. The house should stay with the husband, children and other wives. It’s not fair that the remaining three wives should have to move or be left with only half of the husband’s property.. The husband needs child support from the second wife because he still has 3 wives to support plus many children. And how dare she ask for alimony when he can’t afford it, and when he has not been unfaithful to her; he has only exercised his legal right to have multiple wives. Visitation should be supervised by the other 3 wives since the second wife may corrupt the children (especially the boys) into believing that monogamy is better than polygamy. So the judge agrees with all of those recommendations. It would be too disruptive to remove the children from the home and their father, other mothers and siblings. However, the judge does order each wife to pay the second wife $100 to help her move, and the second wife is allowed to take all her bedroom furniture with her. (Muslim plural wives will not be able to use wife-beating as a way to get alimony either since it is part of the Koran and wives should expect there to be some discipline in the marriage. Note: a female judge in Germany already accepted this argument---she was overturned and fired, but it would be different outcome if polygamy were legal.)Female Attorneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-57041804835352551432011-08-10T21:31:46.264-04:002011-08-10T21:31:46.264-04:00Sick, sad mess.

If he survives past the headbanging fasting he may go on to being a big dog in the big house I just don't know that Jeffs will make it that far. <br /><br />What he did was terrible but it is a shame that he is paying for the crime of his forefathers. Just think how many decades of influence Jeffs has had himself. We have generations of the chain that will never break unless done so swiftly and now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
