Polygamous Montana trio applies for wedding license for husband and his two "wives"

[Little-Acorn]

Why not?

As long as we are pretending "marriage" means something other than what it means, why not extend it further?

Once you throw out the actual definition, you have no standards by which to define it. What excuse can you come up with to stop at any particular point?

Actually, though rare, a few more societies in history have defined "marriage" as between a man and multiple wives, than have defined it as between two men or two women.

And remember, it only takes one state (or locality) to allow polygamous marriage, then the 14th amendment kicks in and all states must allow it, according to the Supreme Court.

The race to the bottom has started.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man has applied for a marriage license so he can legally wed his second wife.

Nathan Collier of Billings said Wednesday that last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage inspired him to try to force the acceptance of polygamous marriages.

He says he'll sue the state if his application is rejected.

Collier says Yellowstone County Courthouse officials initially denied the application Tuesday. When he told officials he planned to sue, they said they would consult with the county attorney before giving him a final answer.

i have already submitted an application to marry the 30ft tall palm tree in my front lawn.

The standard argument against that is that "marriage" can only be between sentient, consenting beings.

Meaning, your case will take longer to get through the courts and approved.

Marriage is a joke, doesn't mean anything anymore.

 

[Iceweasel]

You can't have three people marrying. It isn't traditional.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

i hope that someday soon, men will be allowed to marry/purchase a russian bride for about $42.95 on line, and then the brides will be shipped to their homes here via UPS.

Polygamy is protected under the Privacy Act and your individual right to Pursue Happiness.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

why cant all marriages just expire at the end of each year, and if the spouses hate each other at that time, they can just walk away, no 6 month trial on who get the money and the kids.

You have every right to claim you have a right to marry two wives- you have the exact same recourse that other couples have had.

The case is exactly the same today as it was on Thursday.

You either have an argument against polygamous marriages- or you do not.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Awwww....."love wins". Lol

 

[amrchaos]

Let him get married.

One wife is hell
What do you think 2 is?

So what if somebody want to have two wives? How is that harming you?

Why would he think gay marriage has anything to do with him and his women?

 

[NYcarbineer]

lol, if the Court gives marriage rights to polygamists it will only be because at least one GOP appointed judge will have voted for it, and that's assuming all the so-called liberal judges voted for it.

Quit trying to blame gays for this. Blame Reagan or the Bushes.

 

[Blackrook]

The end game is to destroy marriage, alienate parents from their children, and abolish the family home.

The children will be raised by the state, properly indoctrinated in the ideals of Marxism/Leninism.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Good luck to the three, since we are still working out any two.

 

[Pop23]

What kind of restitution will be needed to pay Utah

We did invade them to end polygamy afterall?

72 virgins each?

 

[Borillar]

i have already submitted an application to marry the 30ft tall palm tree in my front lawn.

Whatever floats your boat. Does it have a convenient knothole? Hope you don't get splinters.
