Should Having Multiple Spouses Be an Option?

I didn't think anywhere you could legally marry more than one person? At least in N. America. However with sims can you not have multiple partners if you don't choose jealousy as a trait? And I'm just asking not trying to be controversial?

After all Sims don't even have to go buy a marriage license first. :o

You have to BUY a marriage license??? Here you just file it and pay for the admin. I suppose it's more or less the same thing.

In some cultures it is acceptable to have mutliple wives. I don't personally agree with it, and these cultures, in my opinion, don't always treat women as equals but as posessions.

In another faith though, all wives are to be treated equally. If you buy wife number one a chocolate, number 2 has to get the exact same.

And I say specifically "wives" and not "spouses" because generally in the afforementioned circumstances, women aren't allowed to be dominant, so women can't choose to have multiple spouses, be it either male or female spouses. LGBTQI+ is also taboo in these cultures.

This to me is a far bigger representation of oppression than it is equality.

Still, I feel that this is a social issue that does not belong in the sims. Have your extramarital affairs, but leave multiple spouses out.

Note, this is my opinion, I do not speak for nor represent any of the above cultures, I do not mean to cause offense.
