The fact that these women marry old codgers makes them young widows with small children. A 30 year old widow with 4 daughters is looked at as potentially 5 wives to some of these dudes.

I think this is just about the only part of Polygamy I have a problem with. Well let me be specific, I don't mind the Men marrying widows with kids; but I -do- mind them viewing the kids as wives. In the Old Testament, and this may have had more to do with the culture of the region than Religious laws but I could be wrong, men often married their Brother's widows to take care of them. Anyway, other than some of the stuff above, I still say that if a man and the wives can support the families and everyone can stay away from Incest and can be then let them have their thing. I don't see where this needs to be an emotional negative if handled right.
