Darleen: A man “spiritually married” to multiple woman or a woman “spiritually married” to multiple men should be illegal. A man “shacking up” with multiple woman or one woman, or a woman “shacking up” with multiple men or one man although perhaps immoral and even illegal in some states would be literally impossible to enforce. Like I said before, in my opinion “Marriage” should be between one man and one woman. Now I am sure you will correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that a pregnant woman “shacking up” with a man, after a certain amount of time, the arrangement is considered a “common law” marriage in order to protect the child(ren) and spouse if one or the other decides to leave, so that they can seek child support, alimony, or property and asset division under the law. Men “shacking up” with multiple woman or woman “shacking up” with multiple men after a certain amount of time should not be considered “common law marriages”.
