Article images

Instead move them to the polyamory article. The main image is best a schematic of 2 people having each an arrow to each other, aswell as arrows to other people (drawn under each of the 2 people) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.165.179 (talk) 11:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reality or misunderstanding?

Does group marriage really exist? I mean a group of men being married to a group of women with all the men of the group being considered married to all the women. I thought it was a misconception based on some societies' tolerance of sex outside marriage. In that case the people thought to engage in group marriage where actually not married at all.

Ambiguity

So what is it exactly? All of the men have all the women as their wives and all of the women have all the men as their husbands. But do all of the men also have all the men as their husbands? And same with the women? Are there heterosexual and bisexual group marriages? And what if there was a brother and sister in there? Would they just be exempt from being married while still sharing the other partners? This is messed up. 24.49.35.99 (talk) 01:39, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Legal Aspects - Inaccuracy?

"no Western countries ... give strong and equal legal protection (e.g., of rights relating to children) to non-married partners – the legal regime is not comparable to that applied to married couples." I don't understand this statement at all. Western countries have "common-law" marriages that are quite comparable to a completed marriage, in many cases including rights relating to children. Clarification is required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.5.142.39 (talk) 16:58, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
