So we are dis­cussing same-sex mar­riage. Who would be the wife and who would be the hus­band or will those words fac­tor in the part­ner­ship? One thing for sure is that there may not be a preg­nan­cy from this re­la­tion­ship, but who will be called "mom" and who will be called "dad" in the case of adop­tion? But if the words "hus­band" and "wife" do not fac­tor in this re­la­tion­ship, what if ei­ther par­ty al­ready has a hus­band or wife??Can they then be ac­cused of bigamy?

So if we can al­low same-sex mar­riage, would we agree to a man legal­ly hav­ing two wives or a woman two hus­bands? One good thing is that in the case of two men, who would both have sex­u­al grat­i­fi­ca­tion, there would be no preg­nan­cy and no ma­ter­nal leave and both will be able to do me­nial work. But if that was the case, how would we have pro­cre­ation? This is not in­tend­ed to ridicule any­one, but can we have some com­ments?
