Does it have anything to do with the fact that in some rural communities, you eventually have people marrying their relatives and having children that are genetically messed up because of it?
I watch "Big Love" on Showtime. Granted, that show is fiction, but it really does seem like a normal thing the way they portray it.
I guess it's illegal because abuse has so often coincided with that lifestyle.
But I think people should be with whomever they wish, as long as everyone is treated equally.
Well, abuse and association with underage and/or unwilling partners. But yeah, issues such as abuse, age of consent, and forced relationships should each be separate topics...unfortunately they all get lumped together with other relationship topics and build the build the negative stigma. You could probably add planned marriages in the same category. I think the OP is talking about a situation where these things are not factors.
