| Message | There is still a difference between recognising a lifeststyle and granting privileges which may usually associated with marriage, and prosecuting those who chose to live that way. |

| Message | The problem is that with the current legislation polygamy is not recognised but "permitted". Whit the one proposed, polygamy is not also recognised but also "permitted"....there is a little but important difference. In other words, with the new proposa who has "de facto" 2 or more wives is an offender. We support this: should be only one wife per man, and one man per wife...stop. |

| Message | The PP-PPP doesn't see any problem with permitting people to choose the way they live, how they love and how many people they love. It's none of the business of the state, and the way the law lies at the moment, no one is forced to approve of such lifestyle choices either. |
