Drewdrops, you have made a hasty generalization also. You just have a hatred for polygamy. There's a 50/50 chance that a kid might get screwed up regardless of the family set up (whether single parent, polygamous, or monogamous).
You seem too carried off by the western construct of marriage as one-man-one-woman. That is their own. We have a culture of polygamy rooted in Africa. Times are changing, but I am not so carried away as to demonize polygamy. There is nothing wrong with polygamy, as much as there's nothing wrong with monogamy. There is everything wrong with people who in any kind of marriage, who are unable to manage their conflicts.
It is a fallacious generalization that more conflict exists within polygamous families.
Tell me about 10 troubles in poligamous homes and I will give you 10 worse troubles in nonogamous homes. They harm to social stability is the same.
I fully agree with you on all the views except what I have said up here.
