Quote by: Waychel You're both overlooking the point, which is not to punish the act after the fact but to PREVENT it from happening in the first place. Going by such generalized and flawed reasoning, Child Protective Services should leave the children of a convicted child molestor in the sex offendor's custody because the molestation of said children has not yet occured. That would not only be negligence, but the gross endangerment of the children involved. The same reasoning applies in regards to polygamy; when roughly 90% of such unions involve either the statutory rape of girls 18 years and older or the molestation of girls 16 years or older, reason dictates that it should not be a legally condoned institution.
Also, this isn't even touching the issues of community property and alimony involved in the circumstance of a divorce. |
Weychel you brain doesn't work so well. Your solution appears to be, 'it happens in polygamous marriages therefore do not allow polygamy'. Yet it doesn't appear to dawn on you that the same argument works for marriages with just two people. If you were concerned about child sexual predators it shouldn't matter what kind of marriage they enter into. You wouldn't want them to marry at all. Again your argument is superfluous to the topic. Yet I am sure there will now be three pages of constant repetition of the same lame argument. And this is not an ad hominem. This is a prediction.
