In the age of a 'greying' population we need more children. Not more parents.

What's wrong with polygamy? Nothing if you want that kind of thing. Everything if you do not.

>> what is wrong with multiple parents especially in the age of divorce?

it is the only way forward... but remember "polygamy" is defined as many wives

How about many husbands and many wives ?

I think these "family groups" is the way to bring up children

Most polygamy in the western world nowadays appears to be 'serial polygamy', in which a man has a series of wives, with children from each wife. Usually the wives are divorced, though sometimes it is through death.

Sometimes the woman has a series of husbands, and children from each, though this does not appear to occur as often as the man having a series of wives.

Some sectors also have men with more than one wife concurrently, usually in the form of a 'first wife' and a side 'girlfriend', both of whom may have children.

It is even more rare for a woman to have several concurrent men in their lives. Those are usually called prostitutes, and they may have several children by some of those men.

In olden times, and also in the Muslim world, a man would legally have multiple wives (up to four in the Muslim religion, I believe). Some religious sects in the western world do also allow for such polygamy (offshoots of the Mormon church, for example).

 

Surely you're being sarcastic, yes?

Ever since women's liberation where they've all joined the working class, the high amount of divorced couples and single mothers, we lack parents to raise children.

Human jealousy and possessive instincts make it difficult for that system to work...

 

Polygamy sounds fine to me.

I don't know where you live, but In Europe we lack children.

 

You're thinking of 'polygyny'. 'Polygamy' is marriage to many spouses, and it covers both polygyny, marriage to many women, and polyandry, marriage to many men.

 

why would polygamy mean more parents?

Parents in monogamous relationships spawn 1 child for the 2 parents nowadays (my statistics could be wrong (as usual

say this IS the case then a person with another person spawning one child, a 2:1 parent:child ratio, means that if that person mothered another child with another person that would become 3:2 . This gap would decrease as more parents are added to the equation. f(x) = x - 1

i think it would allow for more children because the work force supporting the children is bigger.

Do you practice?

 

The thing that is "wrong" with polygamy is basically the society that it is practised in. North America is basically Puritan and exclusively monogamous in practise, and folks are almost hard-wired to think one man for one woman. There's a great deal of maturity and emotional dexterity needed for a mutually beneficial polygamous relationship to work. That's my estimation anyway.

why would you be jealous?

 

Jealousy would stem from a selfish love towards the woman/man who is, for lack of a better term, being shared with another spouse. Pretty easy for jealousy to spring up if they're not careful. That's why treesome's tend to get a third-wheel-syndrome happening.
