Social Security and Polygamy

Jacob Appel on legalizing polygamy

My one concern would be, for example, the person who decides they’re going to have 40 wives and will let social Security pay benefits to all of them after their demise. And we have to set up a system to balance the rights of people to marry who and how many people they choose with one that controls funding of this in a way that the rest of society can function.

The concerns about things like Social Security and any other public or private spousal benefit can all be addressed and should not be used as an excuse to deny this freedom to marry.
