This is a different set of challenge - one much harder and complex, than the gay marriage battle because the society isn't ready yet. I really doubt polygamy can be legalized using the same argument as gay marriage. 'If two people can marry, why can't three' sounds pseudo-reasonable, akin to the 'if a man and woman can marry, why can't two men' argument, but the legal benefits that are afforded to married couples are all defined with 2 people in the relationship, and if you go with more, then the laws don't work at all. | ||

It's not because 'marriage' is an old concept, that it's not of this time. It has been assimilated by modern society, and has been evolving over time: - marriage is a business now - marriage still has a massive social, cultural and psychological significance - marriage can strengthen a relationship - marriage provides a legal and practical framework that is easy to work with and provides a guideline that can be applied to most relationships - ... And if you don't want to get married, so be it. There's probably nothing more modern than modern marriages. Excellent post. | ||
