Do governments have the moral authority to prohibit polygamy?
- Thread starter Bartato
- Start date
1) Laws can be enforced without government. Read old testament law. There is no government there.
2) It's immoral to marry sexually inmature person because marriage implies sex and sexually inmature can't do sex. Consent doesn't matter here.
3) Government job, if it exist must not be stopping human stupidity. Otherwise, everything will be government job.
Inequality between families doesn't matter.
EDIT: Fixed 1).

How and who enforces #2 if someone disagrees on your morality?
Because every society has moral code and way of it's enforcement. Same with laws.
If you disagree with majority, you can move away.
Looks, in Croatia there is saying "inventing hot water". This is well known problem solved by different ways in different societies.
Check works by historians of law.
Heard that this book is very good.
There is link to docx free version.
Sadly, no. Ask the 'collection of parents' in Kalifornia who have their children taken, and have been subjected to pre-pubescent transgender "health care."
And, IIRC, that's what got Elon Musk "red-pilled."
Good one. I agree. In that case, tyranny is winning.
But a larger group of parents voted in a nationwide administration hellbent on stopping that madness.
Who will win? The minority of parents in the state, or the larger in the federal?
So, who enforces moral codes in your society when things don’t go according to societal morality...like child marriage and forced marriage of mentally challenged?
You still haven’t answered.

Those God has put in place to do that.
Lev. 20:10 ‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death.
Which is...?
Who He has put in place to do that.
The ones who obey YHVH, and come out of that State abomination, and say - you can have my kids over my dead body.
I’m being serious. Who has he put in place to do that. I can’t decipher who. Priests? Judges? Family clan leaders? The verse you chose doesn’t say who is supposed to carry out the deeds.
Sadly - and this is what I have done a "Come out of her, My people," Show outlining for over a decade, "legal," is not remotely the same thing as "lawful," or even "constitutional."
It is, for example, neither "lawful," nor 'constitutional,' for bureucrats to exercise 'prior restraint' in approving whether or not a free man may "keep and bear arms." It is argued, by the black-robed priests of a different form of "law" to be 'legal,' however.
Example are literally 'Legion'. I can (and probably will) cite a dozen in today's news alone.
How does that happen? The answer is also in the lawbooks. It is called "choice of law." And most AmeriKans are clueless about the concept, much less the choice.
And it's how eventually they manage to cut the penises off of little pre-pubescent boys, in the Publik Indoctrinashun Sistum, and call it 'legal.' Do we see a choice there?
Some of us still, "hold these Truth to be self-evident."
That all men "are endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights," and that,
"to secure these Rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," and that when Tyrants get out of control (and they laid out the indictments)
...it is their right to "alter or abolish" such.
Yes, by the consent of the governed, we deputize officers of the laws we establish to enforce societal morality (in this instance, child marriage a mentally challenged marriage).
That’s all I’m arguing. All other aspects of limitations on marriage are illegitimate. I may think of others, but this is all I’m contending for now.
Sure they can. People used to hang horse thieves all the time without needing government approval.
