     | Wednesday, March 14, 2001 - 12:30 am Polygamy is not illegal – bigamy is! Bigamy is the criminal offence of registering a second marriage with the State when a first marriage is still recognized. Polygamy can be practiced without breaking the law simply by registering no more than one of the marriages with the State. If you've decided to be a polygamist and put Plural Marriage into practice, then you're most likely not the sort of person to be concerned about registering your marriages with the State. You can have a perfectly pleasant and happy marriage without government intrusion into your private matters. And you can have a better marriage, because submitting to the Government's view of marriage means accepting their view of divorce. Polygamists don't have a need for divorce. If you want to start a new marriage, that's fine, but you shouldn't have to destroy an existing marriage and family to do it. Brides should understand they are entering into a polygamous relationship. But once they understand that, and if they don't break the law by registering multiple marriages, then they can participate in plural marriage with a clear conscience. It is not widely known that polygamous marriages are allowed in the majority of the worlds cultures. It is our belief that monogamy is a valid choice for some people at some times, but we also need other legitimate options for marriage and family life. Certainly the alarming divorce rate and skyrocketing number of single parent families are indicators of how badly we need old proven ancient models for relating. Our goal is to support relationships based on love, commitment, growth, honesty, and accepting personal responsibility.

When I was in Somalia I asked a number of women if they would accept a husband who took a second wife and not one, not one, said they would not. But when I've asked that question to Somali women who are in Europe or the States, not one said they would accept it. Interesting. Personally I think families with multiple wives/mothers should be allowed to immigrate into the States with their marriages intact. But that's just my view.

| | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 12:59 am Lily That's what I'm saying, women who have left Somalia, they ALL told me they would never accept it if he took a 2nd wife, they would divorce him. But ALL of the women I talked to when I was in Somalia, ALL of them, told me they would accept it. I just thought it was interesting.
