A B.C. Supreme Court judge has upheld Canada’s current laws on polygamy finding that there is reasonable belief that women and children are harmed in polygamous marriages and that the keeping polygamy illegal minimally impairs religious freedom… “… this case is essentially about harm,” wrote Chief Justice Robert Baumann… “This includes harm to women, to children, to society and to the institution of monogamous marriage.”
