Can Polygamy Co-Exist in Western Society?

Stephen Brown talks about the French riots and polygamy:

Social workers involved with polygamous families there say they sometimes consist of twenty members, or more, crammed in a two-room apartment, which leave the living and developmental conditions of the children only to the imagination. One family of 24, for example, was reported living in a single apartment where the children have to take turns sleeping. The small ones sleep with their mothers and the bigger ones sleep in the living room in an “unhealthy confusion”, one social worker told a newspaper. The report goes on to say that the father is one of three brothers residing in this particular banlieue, who, together with their wives and children, form a family of 65 members.


In Les Mureaux, a city near Paris, eighty polygamous families from Mali live with their 1,000 children in conditions just as crowded. In fact, children are told to stay outside for lack of room in the apartments. So it isn’t unusual to see children as young as eight on the streets late at night, sometimes in large groups, misbehaving. Also not surprising, authorities report a higher delinquency rate among minors from polygamous families.


But while living conditions may be bad for the children, it is the affect on them of internal family relations that seem to worry social workers the most. The mothers, they say, are often the victims of forced marriages

As we've said before it's politically incorrect to bring this subject up.You can count on further conflict in France and other places that deal with this situation.Our guess is polygamy and a property rights society will have a difficult time co-existing.Private rights are the foundation of freedom and all progress.
