Another legitimate reason for concern is that so often, ‘consenting adults choosing to organize their lives as best they see fit’ is no such thing. It is a few men who organize the lives of everyone around them, deciding who must stay where and who must get out (most of the young men), without regard for what’s best for anyone but themselves.

QFT. Muslim men are allowed to have up to four wives, but there are LOTS of rules that go along with it, not to mention dire warnings about what’ll happen to men who get it wrong, but that doesn’t stop many of them from ignoring all or most of the rules and treating their wives poorly. I’m sure there are some who take things seriously and treat multiple wives well, I’ve just never met one.

I’m still trying to figure out why any man would want more than one wife in the first place. It’s hard enough just to get along with one spouse.
