This.Let’s be honest he’s just tried to shirk any financial hardship by divorcing the first one hasn't he.
His first wife should be locked up for being a dirty little grass imho, the unwanted mess.

Aye,fair point,if you weren't married you're just fooling around.Canny odd how they bother with the marriage bit though which may suggest a more calculating plot to defraud and deceive for gainCame across this this morning:

A fella has been sent to prison for committing bigamy after his first wife spotted him on Saturday Night Takeaway.
It got me thinking though, today alternative relationships such as polyamorous seem to be more socially acceptable. Should bigamy still be a criminal offence?
I understand in this case he's done it secretly while separated from his first wife. To me that seems more a case for a divorce with him as the guilty party than something he should do time for.
I also understand there could be issues with abusing the system, people marrying multiple partners for citizenship purposes for example. That feels like it's already an issue with monogamous marriage though.
I feel that the majority of people in this country aren't marrying for religious reasons. It's primarily because you love your partner and want to spend your life with them, there are also legal reasons to do it such as inheritance laws. With that in mind the old christian "marriage is between one man and one woman" adage doesn't really seem like a good enough reason not to allow bigamy.
I guess there's an argument it could do more harm than good, I don't think that necessarily enough to justify it being a criminal offence today.
To marry one woman is a mystery
To marry two women is biggermystery
I'll get me coat.
Bigamy, bigamy they've all got it bigamy!
I think that the practice belongs in the past, at it's core it just becomes a use of women as an ostentatious display of wealth. Imho that is how you'd see it displayed if it were decriminalized.It got me thinking though, today alternative relationships such as polyamorous seem to be more socially acceptable.

I agree but I'm just saying that imo that's how we'd see it displayed in popular culture.Today it could just as easily be women with multiple husbands.
The legalities of bigamy doesn't prevent people practicing living in polyamorous relationships, it just prevents them from having the legal rights or responsibilities marriage can provide.
ThisHard enough with one let alone 2 on the go.
What if your Mrs wants one of each?Sod that 1 woman is enough.
Think on mate. How do the multiple wives of polygamous immigrants divide the estate when hubby dies? Battle Royal!Just, if marriage is a lawful thing, regarding custody of bairns and divying out of houses and possessions then, blurring the lines further could create a fair bit of heartache for those innocent of the bigamous act.
So long as he pays half the bills.What if your Mrs wants one of each?
I think you misunderstood there marra.So long as he pays half the bills.

Pretty ignorant to compare a "throuple" with an open relationship marra.I don’t see the problem.
If you want an open relationship then just accept you can’t get married.

This is pretty much my view. Morally I don't see how what the bloke has done that's any worse than an affair tbh.No, it shouldn't be a criminal offence with the exception of any associated tax fraud etc.

Both marriages in this case were.As far as I’m concerned, people can do anything they like with whoever they like as long as everyone’s happy.
Just think that if you’re going to get married then thats between 2 people.
