One recurring comment about same-sex marriage is that advocates don't have any reason why same-sex marriage is OK, but polygamy isn't. In fact, polygamy exists in more cultures than same-sex marriage does.
Solangel Maldonado at Concurring Opinions asks, what's wrong with polygamy?
Many Americans believe that polygamy is morally wrong, but this view is not universal. Polygamy is legal and widely practiced in many countries in Africa and the Middle East and Islamic law allows a man to have up to four wives so long as he treats them equally. So why are most Americans vehemently opposed to polygamy?
