Re: Serious Question for Muslims
on balance I would come someway between freedom and social laws.

I dont know? why dont you try it in public. Of course such an act should be deemed illegal. We are playing with a fine between "freedom" and "anarchism"

Define that line. Ask an anarchist and there'd be no difference :). What you are trying to skirt around is the issue of when my freedom starts intruding on others. In america you have state zoning laws that dont allow adult stores near places of worship, why is that? Atleast in that limited geographic sphere outside a church, that bit of land seems to be devoid of freedom does it not? In the relatively godless UK, street facing adult stores are disallowed from placing their products in store windows.
there is certainly libertarian grounds for a society legislating rules about behaviour in public.

i think in the western countries even if polygamy was legal, women would have enough rights to stand up and protest against it, because polygamy objectifies women as sex objects and decreases the relationship between husband and wife , because having more then one wife is just not emotionally fair for the wife, she would not feel as important as a monogamous marriage.

How about porn? Does that objectify women? The issue boils down to informed consent doesnt it, if we were speaking from a freedom perspective.
