THW legalise Polygmay

PMs speech:

We the government of India are proposing that polygamy should be legalised

Lets first define the word polygamy, it is the involvement of three or more people in a marriage where all three cannot be of the same sex. Now were going to talk to you about a few things :

1.) One is the fundamental right to choice, of course there is a rider attached that it should not harm anybody else. Also were going to talk about how it doesn’t harm anybody

2.) Also we’ll talk about how it will help the all strata of the society economically. And the basic rationale behind polygamy.

3.) Third is the fact that this will stop infidelity, aids and abusive relationships, also we will talk to you about why they are bad and how polygamy will cause reduction.

4.) Fourth will talk about the good effects it has on children.

First We’ll talk about the right that an adult should have to choose his or her partners.

All adults (apart from people with psychiatric disorders) have the mental cognitive capacity to decide what is or is not good for them. If a man or a woman wants to indulge in marriage with multiple partners who are we to stop them as long as they are not being detrimental to somebody elses existence. Now the opposition will tell you that this has an effect on Indias rich culture, but I have to ask how, polygamy in no way promotes immorality, it doesn’t even necessarily hurt cultural sentiments as polygamy as an institution does not promote any vices as such, it is a clean system functioning like any normal family, while those with a good knowledge of Indias culture Id like to remind them that Draupadi practiced polyandry and King Dashrath was a polgynist.

Next comes one of my vital points that kind of explains the rational side to polygamy. Imagine you live in a poorer part of he society, you want to have children but you don’t have the funds to support children a simple solution to this polyandry. You can have one women married to 2 or more children wanting men in this way there will be fewer children than in two separate marriages as women have a limit to how many children they can bear. Also both men will be satisfied for their want of children. The child will thus grow up In a better way with a better lifestyle.

Now in contrast with this are people who live in a richer society they can have more wives thus bearing more children than they normally would have thus leading to many children with a good lifestyle. Thus I hope I have shown you that polygamy will also solve many economic problems also in a country like India where there are more poor people than rich there would be a decrease in the rate of population growth if polygamy is allowed. The best way to look at it is this that by this logic you will also have fewer people sleeping on the streets(bums and hobos) and children will have a better and more equally divided (remember India is socialist) quality of life.

Now we’ll talk about the ills that polygamy will put an end to.

It has been proved by many psychiatric experts that sexual variety is an innate desire of every individual. Polygamy facilitates such a system where the want for sexual variety is fulfilled while staying within the sacred tie of a marriage. Infidelity will stop. That is a good thing as infidelity does unlike polygamy pose a moral harm as it promotes lies and deceit, very bad examples for children. Aids will reduce as now all your partners are known people and can be checked for HIV very easily. Also when it comes to the matter of physically abusive relationships, there is a third person involved in the relationship who can step in to solve problems and to help the victim stand up against the oppressor. Imagine the situation of Josef Fritzl had their been another man or woman this probably would not have happened. In todays cruel world where fathers are turning to their own daughters for their sexual needs, isn’t polygamy the much needed solution to all this outpouring sexual and financial tension that lies in todays world.

My next point is regarding the upbringing of children within the premises of polygamy. In a monogamous system you have only one mother and father, which means there are times when you are neglected (read up working parents). While in a polygamous premise there is a lesser chance of neglection as there are a greater number of parents. Also abusive parents would find it hard to exist as there would be a majority number of people who would oppose their practices thus reducing the chances of a childhood filled of abuse.

So lets recap what I have proved to you.

I’ve proved to you that every adult should have a right to choose how many partners he or she wants, I’ve explained the rational behind polygamy, I’ve told you about the potential it has to stop many vices in society and how it will result in a better environment for children. And so I am proud to propose.
