The practice of what is usually called polygamy enjoys de facto legality in Kenya although such unions are no longer fully recognized by the courts. With the enactment of the new constitution, the Marriage Bill of 2007, which would have effectively legalize civil polygamous marriage in Kenya. However in 2013, a woman was able to marry two men legally. (Moral issues: are those which involve a difference of belief and not a matter of preference.)

Many people especially those who are not used to or don't believe in marrying two people would find this an moral issue. Whether it is because of their religion or that you believe marrying multiple people is wrong, its simply an opinion. I think your question is very opinionated, because whether polygamy is or isn't an moral issue is based on how you feel about it.

How would you write a paper about the conflict perspective of polygamy. I'm stuck and cant think of where to start?

There several sources of conflict regarding polygamy. You could talk about the conflict among various religions over the issue of polygamy. You could talk about the social structure of the family and how conflict among the wives is handled. You could talk about personal internal conflicts about polygamy.


Will same-sex marriage lead to polygamy?

There is no evidence to indicate that it will, although the argument is sometimes used by opponents. In fact, opposite-sex marriage is the one that has its roots in polygamy, notably in the Old Testament. One country that legalized polygamy in 2014, Kenya, is extremely homophobic. Same-sex marriage is not legal there, and any type of same-sex sexual activity is considered a crime punishable by law. So, as far as trends go on the polygamy scene, same-sex marriage definitely does not go hand-in-hand with polygamy, rather polygamy flourishes only in cultures with extreme anti-gay bias.
