discuss the role of two types of multiple partner relationships, polygamous and polyamorous, in current and future Canada. This relates to Chapter 6, where you will find definitions and some discussions of the terms. It also relates, as you will see in the readings, to an ongoing debate in both Canada and the United States. Chapter 8 outlines how marriage is regulated in all cultures according to rules designed to ensure order and continuity in society. Canadian law and social values on marriage are changing as the population incorporates more non-Christian religious practices on one hand, and secularizes on the other. This can cause tensions between values. The debate over same-sex marriage is an example of this. More changes and more tension can be expected as the court’s interpretations of constitutional religious and individual freedoms provide legal guidance on why and how Canada will regulate marriage.I am not asking that you set aside any strong moral or religious beliefs you may have on this topic. I do require that you recognize Canadian society includes people with many other beliefs and reasons for them, and that these will have to be part of the debate. That debate will take place less on moral and more on legal grounds- because the law is seen as neutral.The style will be an expository essay, in that you will be explaining the terms and matters relating to them, and only reaching a conclusion at the end. This is in contrast to an argumentative essaywhere you state a position at the beginning and develop and argument throughout. REQUIRED are 2-3 pages, double spaced with 1″/25mm margins all around and using 12pt Times New Roman font. Sources used should be properly, with all of them cited in text and listed in the bibliography, using MLA format. Any additional sources used must also be properly cited in text and listed in the bibliography, using MLA format.General Outline Provide a brief definition of single partner and each of the multiple partner marriage or marriage-like arrangements, highlighting the ways in which they are the same and how they are different. Finally, state and explain your position (supported by references to the sources) on the following questions. What are the social (i.e., short term) and cultural (i.e., long term) consequences of multiple marriages or relationships in Canada? Should multiple marriages or relationships continue to be penalized or discouraged by the Canadian state? Finally, apart from what you personally feel should happen, how do you think Canada’s laws and social attitudes towards these marital practices will develop?Sources NOTE: a bibliography in MLA format is REQUIRED. See https://langara.ca/library/research-help/citing-help/mla.html. EXPLICIT reference in the paper to all of the sources listed below is REQUIRED. Additional sources are encouraged but not required, but if used must also be cited and listed according to MLA These are the 6 REQUIRED sources.In 2011 there was a landmark Supreme Court case on the matter of religious polygyny in Bountiful, BC. That decision did not end the debate, but simply set up the terms of how the debate would proceed 7 years later. Most of the articles concentrate on Bountiful and Mormon practices, but several refer to how Canada responds to Muslim polygyny. The last article discusses how the details of
the 2011 decision can be interpreted as actually making multiple relationships (polyamory) legal – if they are not called marriage.

Use them in the paper if you want, but they are NOT REQUIREDThese are from Slate, a US publication. The first defends polyamorous relationships, and argues for the “privatization” of marriage- making it an individual and contractual rather than a legal or religious matter. The second cites ethnological research that examined ethnographies of polygynous marriages inother cultures and concluded that they were generally not as beneficial to the wives as they are to the husbands.
