Let us not forget the multiple wives among Indigenous Australians.
I remember the case of the bloke in the NT who was getting marriage allowance for four wives when the powers that be woke up and cancelled three of them. They simply went on the single mothers’ pension and all were happy again, especially as it meant that more money was coming in. Muslims and Mormons in Australia can practice the locally unlawful multiple marriages and the taxpayer foots the bill. Posted by Is Mise, Saturday, 17 July 2021 3:53:20 PM

Is Mise,
Not only Muslims and Mormons. There's been many cases of white Christian men doing precisely the same thing as women's mags have reported over the years. So what's the point? We're all responsible for our actions - hidden or not. Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 17 July 2021 3:57:28 PM

Women's magazines would report on mormons as Christians as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday saints to the journalists would be considered Christian.

Dear Josephus,
Perhaps you could explore Buddism to convert to. "This link between evangelical Christianity and child marriage actually has been explored recently in the wake of stories of failed Senate candidate Roy Moore’s proclivities. Evangelical communities still push for child marriages between girls in their “middle teens” and men in the mid-twenties or older. According to these groups, younger girls make better spouses because they are blank slates and can be more easily “molded” to serve their future husbands better. What is even more troubling in these communities is that the predominant narrative is that it is the young girl who is pursuing the older man, which means that the pregnant 15-year-old is the one who “sinned” by overcoming the resistance of the adult man who had sex with her." http://www.salon.com/2018/03/11/banning-child-marriage-in-america-an-uphill-fight-against-evangelical-pressure/ Posted by SteeleRedux, Saturday, 17 July 2021 4:02:55 PM

Foxy,
Yes, but multiple marriages at the same time are not permitted in Christianity, a Christian who marries while his wife is alive commits bigamy which besides being a civil crime for him is also a religious violation, not so for the tribal Aboriginal, the Muslim or the Mormon; therein lies the difference.

Good for you. That is your right to do.
As there's is to ignore you.
