    Well I can't speak for all families but I've got two sisters and if we did a panto I'd be Cinderella :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Why not just do away with marriage. 
    My wife and I have different nationalities. She wouldn't be allowed to reside in this country were we not married.


    Well, in which case, wild horses wouldn’t make me marry a member of my family. I loathe them all.
     :D 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Are you suggesting your sisters are ugly or have you got pretty little feet @wild edges
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    It’s just obvious that he was far and away the prettiest of the three

    No way I would want two wives.  One is expensive and hard work without any additional help. :D
    I was reading an article today about a bloke in America who apparently had 20 wives, including his own 12 year old daughter!  He is now under arrest.

    As far as I'm concerned others can do what they like within the law but I like being female and I like having one man.

    Dating was hard enough when it was just trying to convince one girl you're not as weird as you look. As a couple we can rarely decide on anything we're both happy with and if we can't pick a movie or meal that we both want then getting another spouse sorted out would be a nightmare. Then those problems become even worse when there are three of you. It could be a great way to solve the housing crisis though. Pack more adults into existing housing.

    Yes of course.
    But what do we as a society want to law to allow, or not to?
