Like this guy in Cambodia did.
He says he “regretfully” married them both because he could not choose. (Seeing their picture, I can understand why. ) There IS a bigamy law, but the police won’t do anything if no one files a complaint.

I don’t see a problem with this.
As long as there’s no fraud or deception involved, why shouldn’t three people get married together? One wonders what the state of Cambodian family law is, though, in the event of a death or divorce.
Well, it IS against the law, so one wonders about these two wives’ rights if he died (always more of a possibility in Cambodia than elsewhere). Still, I bet he dies with a smile on his lips.
Hmm, tempting. However, remember “The Gentlemen Soldier” by the Pogues. (Well, probably just sung by them.)
“Ah, then me gentleman soldier, won’t you marry me?”
"Ah, no my dearest Polly. This thing can never be.
"I’ve a wife already, and children I have three
“Two wives are allowed in the army … but one’s too many for me!”
This is a huge mistake. They don’t really love each other. I give it a year at the most.
You figured all that out from a 100 word article?
Heh, what a great fantasy, to have two wives.
Every guy thinks at once of HOTT threesomes and the like. One never considers the more mundane possibilities - that the wives will gang up on him, boss him around, make him do more of the chores - two sets of in-laws hassling him - twice the nagging …
My thoughts exactly.
“You’re a lazy bum! Get a better job!”
“Yeah, what she said.”
From the article: " ‘This is my unfortunate destiny,’ the paper quoted Samanak as saying. ‘Although I am happy to take both, my life now will be one of a lot of hard work to keep them happy.’ "
Good luck with that one.
You know, this will probably lead to legalized gay marriage.
Just sayin’.
Well, one of his wives is a man anyway. That’ll decide things.
Sorry, but hot 3 ways would far outweigh any extra bossing around I might have to endure.
Unless, like the old joke about wedding cake curing nymphomania, now there will be 2 wives who won’t be giving him any. They might even form their own bond and shut him out. :eek: Could happen, I’m just sayin’.
Really?
Then ponder this…
You will have one of two situations: Either both wives are, let’s say, moody at the same time every month leading to double PMS, or they alternate making it 2 weeks out of the month that life is a living hell.
That’s right. Two bloated, cramping, irritated and irrationally emotional harpies from the depths of the abyss to join in on your three way.
Good luck with that.
We Canadians already have legalised gay marriage, and marriages with more than two people seem no closer that they were before. I haven’t heard of any activism towards such marriages either, but then gay marriage was a bit of a surprise to me.
Umm, it was a joke.
I knew that.
But adjusting the laws to account for plural marriages or group marriages or whatever we’d to call them would be a lot harder than adjusting them for same-sex marriage. For same-sex marriage, all they did in Ontario was the equivalent of going through the text of the laws and replacing “husband and wife” with “spouse and spouse”.
Actually, my dear departed father-in-law had two wives, as is the practice of many a man over here. It’s just that his second one was what is called his “minor wife” and taken at some later point in time. Plus she did not live in the same household. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of two brides in the same ceremony. The guy looks like he’s all of 12 years old, but what a pair of balls he must have!
It should be a great honeymoon if nothing else.
After that…not so sure. It would take a lot of work to keep 3 people in good spirits.
It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it.
