I thought a group marriage simply meant that more than one couple was married at the same time, in a "mass ceremony", by a single entity. THis is different than polygamy, because each person is still only marrying one other person.
Also I don't think that the consentuality of the parties involved has any bearing on bigamy. A guy with 5 wives is a bigamist, whether the wives know about the others or not. > Afaik technically bigamy is the act of non-consentual multiple > marriage. > > Polygyny is multiple wives. > Polyandry is multiple husbands. > > I believe the term "line marriage" or "group marriage" is more recent, > although I don't believe the concept is new. > >> At that point is it called Bigamy? > >> How bout group marriage? > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 3:21 PM >> To: CF-Community >> Subject: Bigamy (Was: Gay Marriage) > >>> Ray wrote: >>> Marriage is simply an agreement between two people who >>> love each other >>> to spend the rest of their lives together.
