Should it be legal for a man to have multiple wives?

Saw this being discussed on facebook and thought I'd bring it on over here :)

Since some sects of religions still practice polygamy here in the US, shouldn't it be legal for them to marry multiple wives? 

Doesn't it violate their rights of freedom of religion and practice as they please?

Or does all that "love is love" stuff stop with homosexuality?

It should be legal between consenting adults.

It should be legal as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult human,and if in the future we discover intelligent,alien humanoid life that we can " breed" with... Them too. Sorry for the tounge in cheek. There are UFO posts on another group.

i think it should be legal with some stipulations- its between adults and that the children they have arent on public aid/welfare/foodstamps etc. its personally not for me, but to each their own.

It should be legal as long as all involved are adults capable of consenting. And of course the same would apply to women who want multiple husbands and to those who would want to marry one of each gender.

surely you don't think this is some clever "gotcha", or an original thought. 

why just men having mulitple wives? in your rush to point the finger at gay rights, you've revealed your own misogyny.

It should be legal. Same as having multiple husbands, etc.

so much for libertarianism, eh?    the inner athoritarian comes out. 

Quoting ambermario4ever:

no it should not be legal.
