and exists only as a representation of the sacred union

so for a man to have multiple wives implies a sense of libertinism precisely for women, who get too much weight around household, and worst of all, around males

in mormonism it's a slightly different system, elaborated on here: https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/132

tldr: men can have an unlimited number of wives, but if they do anything bad then their wives are confiscated and given to their moral superiors

they kick the man out of the church and confiscate his women and then breed new better men in his place

the concept of marriage itself is emasculating, your masterpiece @The Enlightened Shepherd

I don't think marriage is emasculating, men emasculate themselves by being pussies

they will not order their wives around or discipline their kids

it is to every wise man that ever lived

i cannot think of a peson i appreciate who didn't have a word or two against marriage

obviously, when given "relief"

marriage basically exists for the man to formally claim ownership of his women

injected with drugs?

that is the purpose of it, staking out your property

which includes your house, your females, your children

one of the only things islam got right in my eyes was to overtly refer to women as property

yes, but we cannot concieve any sensible idea of marriage without an explicitly drawn out institution

it could be religious that you speakof

it doesn't refer to women as property

or feudal

at all

oh

then the one good thing about it was a misunderstanding

or anything based on a hierarchy, an imposition, structuring

neither does the d&c

the reason why marriage completely fails in modernity

is because modernity thinks legal binding is a substitute for a real, organic, and objective structure, which is exercised, not imagined

brahminism says the wife must be radiantly beautiful, or else the husband will not be attracted and children will not be born and the family will be doomed to obscurity. it also says the woman must worship the man as a god, and not even speak the name of another male so long as he lives

you say a lot of such words

about various topics

but I'm not sure you actually appreciate their import

@Deleted User 57835c2c It is my sense that Brahmin faith merely confirms what was culturally already the norm. Indeed, all classical Civilization appreciates beauty and condones family values

But I can hardly say that of polygamy

TES the legal binding part is just the paperwork aspect, organically what makes the male-female relation work is the wisdom, leadership and terrifying power of the male, with the woman being submissive and pleasant

It isn't that it isn't an object of discusion

marriage sucks because modern people are shit

the men do not have wisdom, leadership, moral virtue or terrifying power, they are simpering numale manchildren

and the women are crass whores with grating voices

they should all be beaten severely

I openly tell women with vocal fry that their voices are fucked up and they need to seek voice coaching

in other words, marriage "contract" is that type of legal arrangement which has absolutely no enforcing mechanisms whatsoever
