Nobody to leave anything to if there are no children and your greatest legacy is your genes. Reproduction is a perogative shared by both men and women. In a society where males have greatest power polygamy (male with two or more females) gives a male a better chance of passing on his genes providing there are easily obtainable resources around. A woman has the best chance of passing her genes on if her partner is striving to bring only her offspring to adulthood. Polygamy is rarer therefore when women are empowered. Of course in an equal and free society where resources are plentiful people can exercise choice but I think that polygamy is not a natural first choice of many women and whilst a man might be inclined to share himself with more than one woman he might be far less inclined to share his woman with another, again from a reproductive point of view he would want to know that the children he is raising (and leaving his fortune to)are his own. I think polygamy will always be the choice of few but I see no reason for it to be unlawful.petals Masterhttp://www.petalsmj.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404345771022225541.post-31323564801666533842013-11-18T04:47:45.271-08:002013-11-18T04:47:45.271-08:00I think we will see greater acceptance of polyamor...I think we will see greater acceptance of polyamory, including the freedom to polyamorous marriage. I also think we'll see it happen much faster than acceptance of same-gender relationships and marriage.

I <i>want</i> that, oh how I want it! The future of humanity is at best uncertain. And even if polyamory were to be accepted in America (and I think that will be a LONG time coming if it happens) there is the rest of the world. And gains regarding marriage equality could all be undone when the wind blows another way politically. I hope you're right, but I'm not quite as optimistic, I suppose. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492840008624286164noreply@blogger.com
