Bill: Polygamy
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Party of Kirlawa
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 4062
Description[?]:
| Although we support the recognition of polygamous marriages, we realise that explicitly equating it to a monogamous marriage is a dictation by the government on marriage policy. In line with our reforms on marriage and broader government reforms, we are reversing our previous policy on this issue |
Proposals

Proposal[?] to change The government's policy with respect to polygamy.
Old value:: Polygamous marriages are accorded equal recognition to monogamous marriages.
Current: The government does not recognise polygamous relationships.
Proposed: There is no explicit government policy on polygamy.

| Message | As with so many of these recent bills, we dislike both available options. But here, we feel the current law is the worse of the two, so we'll vote aye. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
