"...polygamous relationships tend to be very successful."
Of COURSE polygamous relationships are 'successful" ! When a man has a slew of women and children who are oppressed and willing/forced to submit to his every whim/command what is there to disagree about!
And when a female is taught from birth that this is the way things should be and knows that objection results in mortal discipline at best and eternal damnation at worst, she is an easy target for abuse and conditioned to condone that same abuse with her children.
Polygamy is illegal, plain and simple. It is a crime. You want it changed, go through the proper channels and if you fail, live by the law. Anything as shrouded in secrecy as the polygamous sects in this country are just leave a door open for the most innocent of victims to be preyed upon.
Freedom of religion is one thing. Using that as a cover for physical and sexual abuse is a whole other matter. It needs to stop, and the women who excuse it and allow their children to be abused are one of two things...victims (in denial) who need intervention or criminals who need to go to prison. There is no in between here.
