How Monogamous Countries Should Respond; Notes; Bibliography; IndexPolygamy and plural marriage have become front-and-center issues in Europe, Canada, and the United States, notably on two religious fronts: among some splinter groups of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and in Islam. Polygamy in the Monogamous World: Multicultural Challenges for Western Law and Policy takes both groups into account as it provides a careful examination of legal polygamy in non-Western countries and plural unions in North America. Comparing these similar, but legally distinct forms of union, it offers a fresh perspective on how Western countries should respond toPolygamyPolygamyReligious aspectsPolygamyLaw and legislationElectronic books.Polygamy.PolygamyReligious aspects.PolygamyLaw and legislation.306.84/23Bailey Martha1950-954366Kaufman Amy J954367MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459455803321Polygamy in the monogamous world2158611UNINA
