MSP: Polygamy could be next if marriage is redefined
If marriage is redefined in Scotland, legalising polygamy could be next, a senior MSP has said.
Labour’s Elaine Smith raised concerns about the proposals, saying there is “no logical reason” to discriminate against a relationship of three or more people if “love” is the driving force behind the legislation.
She made the comments in written evidence to the Equal Opportunities Committee, which is looking into the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill.
