I reckon every country has to have their own Madeline Murray-O'Hare some time.

Interesting, of course, but not exactly the kind of thing I go for in this "you couldn't make it up dept." series. It really is dedicated to the extreme of bizarreness, stupidity, irrelevancy, all things that are strange and unusual and sometimes vacuous. Now what you posted is, a), highly relevant, and, b), expected. It already is virtually law in Belgium, where a man managed to have his polygamous "marriage" legally recognized. The next step is incest between consenting adults, and, quite frankly, I have more sympathy with that (arguing by extremes, I mean) than with polygamy or "gay marriage"; I find it hypocritical that the one is admitted but the other is not.
