Polygamy follows “multiple parentage” as night follows day. It likewise followed from “same-sex marriage” — for if the institution cannot be restricted to one man, and one woman, how otherwise can it be restricted? At the time Paul Martin’s Liberal government was rubber-stamping the decision of the same Ontario Appeals Court, to create same-sex marriage in Canada, we received blustering assurances that marriage would always be restricted to “two persons” — even as the bureaucrats in Mr Martin’s own justice department were telling him that legal recognition for polygamous marriage was being made inevitable. Last week’s “three parent” court decision simply hurries that process along.
