Tradition. nossy Send a noteboard - 07/10/2010 01:28:47 PM
You know. Also, I'm sure it's something to do with how the legal work plays out. Marriage is a social contract, and has benefits. Would they be the same for polygamists?

Tom has an excellent point about ratios. I've been reading about the imbalance in China and India, and it's depressing.
