All women are evil and if you are unlucky enough to want to suffer more than one of them, then by all means go for it. Four times the headaches, four times the mood swings, and twenty times the evil (women band together in their little covens to multiply your misery).

But... seeing as how that's not going to be considered 'serious', I personally have no problem with it. It depends on culture, and cultural acceptance. Islam for example allows up to four wives, and whilst some may argue that it is a very masculine dominated society (which it undoubtably is), if the man and the women are happy in that relationship, then why not allow it? The reasons it isn't allowed in the majority of the world is more to do with Christianity than any other particular factor, and even then you've got to remember that historically certain flexible liberties did exist (prima nocte, anyone).

Of course its always curious to see the modern countries such as the US, who were supposedly arelgious at their inception (the 'under God' bit was added later), make limitations based on one religion.

Personally I have no intention of getting married. It just seems like a scam for women to steal your money and cause you grief.

And i belive that Sheikhs have even more.
Still, in Islam you are obligated to ''buy'' a woman with gold, and if you don't have enough money to pay how much she needs you can't marry her. Also, if you have more than 1 wife, you're obligated to threat them all equaly. So, not just any Joe Shmoe can marry more than one woman

Anyway in theory, I have nothing against polygamy, although I intend to have only one wife If a woman or a man is willing to accept this, why forbid them?

On the other hand, that would significantly increase the number of emigrants from poor countrys to richer countrys. For example, if I could marry 10 woman from Serbia or Croatia (all my good friends), and be just formaly in marriage with them for citizenship purposes, i would do it. And, this is also a way for a rich country citizens to make money. 15,000 Euro per marriage, and the marriage is only formal. How is this method called in English? Legalising polygamy would just improve this ''market''.

Well, that depends. What if you and your wife have an equal source of income?
Or if she isn't working, she must at least cook you a meal, and clean the house. As goes for grief, well every relationship has it's problems at some point. It all just depends on both individuals. Still, i think i will listen to my old man and marry somewhere around 30. I don't want to make the same mistake as he did with my mother. Marriage in 20 isn't a wise move.
