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 toPolygamyPolygamyLaw and legislationPolygamyReligious aspectsPolygamy.PolygamyLaw and legislation.PolygamyReligious aspects.306.84/23Bailey Martha1950-1811808Kaufman Amy J1811809DLCDLCBOOK9910963161003321Polygamy in the monogamous world4363898UNINA
