| Message | Some people have religions that are perfectly fine with having multiple spouses. The government has no right to tell them they can't follow their beliefs. |
| Date | 15:22:09, November 12, 2011 CET | From | United Liberal Caucus | To | Debating the Restoring sanity to Solentia act 22 |
| Message | This bill hardly restores sanity. Their religion might be fine with polygamous marriages but we as a society have to set some ground rules, and the law not recognizing polgamous marriages is one of them. |
