Jim Jackson said:
Because polygamy reduces the status of women within their own marriages. Instead of being "one of two," a woman in a polygamist relationship becomes "one of many."



If, however, the woman wants to be "one of many" and is a consenting adult, what's the harm?

And your decree that polygamy "reduces" the status of a woman is a value judgement on your part, no different than a value judgement by someone else that being gay is unsavory or unmanly.
