FORCED MONOGAMY | ARE WOMEN IN TODAYS SOCIETY REALLY FREE?

Whether you like it or not, know it or not, we live in a society which legally forces monogamy on men and women, by emforcing the law of bigamy, which has never been the biblical standard (which is what we deal with here, being children of Yah by the blood of YaHushuWaH aka Jesus Christ) and is actually not the standard in many non western or westernized cultures.

Taking into account the strong push for “RIGHTS” in all spheres of society let’s discuss the issue of forced monogamy through the laws of the land and their effect on “women’s rights” with regards to marriage to a man.

This is only about the option of a woman to chose who she wants to seek marriage with, the understanding that the power to grant that marriage lies with the man.

• Is forced societal monogamy actually a shackle in disguise for the woman?
• If a woman’s first choice, best option, or even only option, is a man who is already in a relationship, does monogamy deny her the option of exercising that choice, by forcing her to choose another or go without?
• If a woman finds no other suitable men or simply desires one who is already in a relationship, is it her RIGHT to decide who she wants to be joined to?
• Does a woman have a RIGHT to seek marriage with any man she pleases while she is still unjoined?
  • If so does monogamy actually deny a woman that RIGHT by not allowing her that option through social or legal consequences?
• Does the already joined woman have the RIGHT to deny the unjoined woman the man she is joined to?
• Does the unjoined woman violate the joined woman’s RIGHT by requiring her to be displaced, in order to join herself to that man?
• If the RIGHT to choose does exist, does monogamy not violate this RIGHT by pitting them at odds with one another?
• In these scenarios who’s justified, is it first come first serve?
• Does a woman have the RIGHT to proposition a man regardless of his relationship status?
• Is freedom of choice not the whole point of women’s liberation?
• Is promotion and adherence to monogamy not a doublestandard by those who say the woman is free to choose?

I came across these questions on Biblical forum.
