Does Polygamy Have Solutions  

Polygamy is illegal in North America, however there are small communities who practice it which is illegal. Due to polygamist living a very secret life governments have not been up holding their laws. We as a country need to be aware of all the communities that surround us especially the ones who are breaking the law North Americans have a strong belief against. In my opinion the possible solution would be exposing this communities and making sure the government up holds its laws. One way of taking action is singing pledges against polygamy. In the other hand 
I believe that everyone should live the lifestyle they chose as long as it dose not damage them self and the people around. Having said that polygamous people live a lifestyle that our society is not familiar with, therefore I think we need to further educate ourselves to inssuer equality of those who practice non harmful polygamous relationship. Due to polygamy being know as a practice that violets women rights and those of children which was a major problem in the past for women and children to find help. However that is not the case in modern day society, there many groups and organizations that the victims can reach out to like: social workers, law enforcement, schooling systems, and websites that are against polygamy. The challenge that we need to find a solution to is if polygamy is illegal or not because clearly polygamous families are not giving up their belief and we as a society need to acknowledge it. We need to make polygamy legal so its a safe and open environment. However accompanied by laws against harmful polygamous relationships.

  1. Hey Dorina,
    Interesting blog post. By making this blog you are already taking initiative to educate others on this issue. I am just wondering if you have or plan to take action in any other way?

  2. Hi Dorina,
    Do you think it would be possible to legalize polygamy and ensure that the relationships are healthy at the same time? It sounds like it would be quite tricky. Maybe education would be the best way for people to at least have an idea as to their lifestyle choices. Also, maybe the government should focus on underage marriage, forced marriage, and incestuous marriage instead of polygamy as these are the issues that have a greater cause for concern.
    Thanks for the post!
