It took awhile for America to accept Afro Americans on equal terms, and still there are issues. It took awhile for America to accept women's equal rights, and still there are issues. I see gay rights and marriage now starting to gain ground. All of thee were legal battles... My point... Polygamous relationships accepted by law as marriages may come one day, but there will definitely be issues.

I was surprised to see the title of a movie Discussed here: Source 4 that had an ironic twist. Instead of polygamy being the crime it was which wife committed the crime. Illegal or not Polygamy is gaining ground as the far reaching taboo for some and the drama for others.

It must be organized crime if they are using religion as a front and the FBI has to move in and take away the religious leaders. I think in years to come it will be that any kind of marriage will be legal: gay, polygamist, maybe even to animals, until then everyone needs to obey the law!

Comments: If the Obama administration continued under Clinton I could see Polygamy eventually become law but under Trump its going to remain unlawful and with all the sexual harassment cases I can see a stronger demand to get rid of the practice.
Polygamy as a raw form could be okay, but the current form keeps women as objects, a harem for the male Barbarian who ‘owns’ them through marriage. No current case of polygamy is anything more than that. Once women can have multiple husbands as well, then there may be a valid situation for it. For now though, it’s just some 7th century man keeping a harem. Some of these wives are as young as 12, as in the case of Bountiful! Ugly minded religious leaders.
