The reason for the high divorce rate is no fault divorce. In other words, state intervention into the institution of marriage sent divorce rates through the roof. Now you want more state intervention into the very nature of the institution. Why would you expect a postitive result?

And thanks for declaring that you support the "marriage" of three women, or three men for that matter, demonstrating a low regard for marriage which was confirmed by your subsequent remarks.

As for your example of a wife beating child molester: when something is abused, the remedy is not its abolition but a emre corrective. (We used to whip wife beaters in Maryland, well into the 1960's.) Your argument seems to be, "Joe beats his wife, so let Sally, Liz, and Deb all get married." Does that sound logical?
