wow this woman is truly an inspiration.

[annoymemore]

alot of these women are excluded from society as we know it, and are poorly educated with few oppourtunities not even have access to their own monney, women that manage to leave often loose everything they have and have to learn to live in a whole new world with little or no support from others around them

For the people who want polygamy banned because allegedly there is the possibility of one or more partners getting abused, I look forward to them taking up the struggle to ban monogamy, since abuse happens there as well. Different relationship structures are not any more abusive, it is the people in those relationships that determine whether they are abusive or not. Just like polygamy, guns don't kill or abuse people, people abuse or kill people.

@yourcriptanite1 The title is ESCAPED FROM POLYGAMY.

If their beef was about under aged girls getting force into marriage Id think they would have put that in the title.

The age of consent is different in different parts of the country.

I know a few people that would swear up and down that they were "forced" into a bad marriage...and I went to their weddings

Cohersion doent neccessarily meet the legal definition of forced.

Im just saying that the media needs to be just as liberal w/ this

@chubbypekingnese i dont think its the polygamy part, its mostly the fact that underage girls are being forced into marriage. So it isnt always their choice, this is what the government is trying to prevent. Honestly i dont think they care about the multiple wives thing at all
