Of course, feminist lawyers and legal activists tend to have some difficulties when polygamy gets involved, and understandably so. I’ve seen several recent feminist critiques of polygamy, pointing to its misogynist history and relationship with the Mormon church. But this isn’t the only context for polygamous or polyamorous relationships. In my opinion, the government has no business regulating relationships between consenting adults when those adults are making no claims to legal rights based on the relationship.
