  • Legislating First Cousin Marriage in the Progressive Era
    KISSING COUSINS: LEGISLATING FIRST COUSIN MARRIAGE IN THE PROGRESSIVE ERA Lori Jean Wilson Consanguineous or close-kin marriages are older than history itself. They appear in the religious texts and civil records of the earliest known societies, both nomadic and sedentary. Examples of historical cousin-marriages abound. However, one should not assume that consanguineous partnerships are archaic or products of a bygone era. In fact, Dr. Alan H. Bittles, a geneticist who has studied the history of cousin-marriage legislation, reported to the New York Times in 2009 that first-cousin marriages alone account for 10 percent of global marriages.1 As of 2010, twenty-six states in the United States permit first cousin marriage. Despite this legal acceptance, the stigma attached to first-cousin marriage persists. Prior to the mid- nineteenth century, however, the American public showed little distaste toward the practice of first cousin marriage. A shift in scientific opinion emerged in the mid-nineteenth century and had anthropologists questioning whether the custom had a place in western civilization or if it represented a throwback to barbarism. The significant shift in public opinion however, occurred during the Progressive Era as the discussion centered on genetics and eugenics. The American public vigorously debated whether such unions were harmful or beneficial to the children produced by first cousin unions. The public also debated what role individual states, through legislation, should take in restricting the practice of consanguineous marriages. While divergent opinions emerged regarding the effects of first cousin marriage, the creation of healthy children and a better, stronger future generation of Americans remained the primary goal of Americans on both sides of the debate.

  • Marriage Outlaws: Regulating Polygamy in America
    Faucon_jci (Do Not Delete) 1/6/2015 3:10 PM Marriage Outlaws: Regulating Polygamy in America CASEY E. FAUCON* Polygamist families in America live as outlaws on the margins of society. While the insular groups living in and around Utah are recognized by mainstream society, Muslim polygamists (including African‐American polygamists) living primarily along the East Coast are much less familiar. Despite the positive social justifications that support polygamous marriage recognition, the practice remains taboo in the eyes of the law. Second and third polygamous wives are left without any legal recognition or protection. Some legal scholars argue that states should recognize and regulate polygamous marriage, specifically by borrowing from business entity models to draft default rules that strive for equal bargaining power and contract‐based, negotiated rights. Any regulatory proposal, however, must both fashion rules that are applicable to an American legal system, and attract religious polygamists to regulation by focusing on the religious impetus and social concerns behind polygamous marriage practices. This Article sets out a substantive and procedural process to regulate religious polygamous marriages. This proposal addresses concerns about equality and also reflects the religious and as‐practiced realities of polygamy in the United States. INTRODUCTION Up to 150,000 polygamists live in the United States as outlaws on the margins of society.1 Although every state prohibits and criminalizes polygamy,2 Copyright © 2014 by Casey E.

  • Therapy with a Consensually Nonmonogamous Couple
    Therapy With a Consensually Nonmonogamous Couple Keely Kolmes1 and Ryan G. Witherspoon2 1Private Practice, Oakland, CA 2Alliant International University While a significant minority of people practice some form of consensual nonmonogamy (CNM) in their relationships, there is very little published research on how to work competently and effectively with those who identify as polyamorous or who have open relationships. It is easy to let one’s cultural assumptions override one’s work in practice. However, cultural competence is an ethical cornerstone of psychotherapeutic work, as is using evidence-based treatment in the services we provide to our clients. This case presents the work of a clinician using both evidence-based practice and practice- based evidence in helping a nonmonogamous couple repair a breach in their relationship. We present a composite case representing a common presenting issue in the first author’s psychotherapy practice, which is oriented toward those engaging in or identifying with alternative sexual practices. Resources for learning more about working with poly, open, and other consensually nonmonogamous relationship partners are provided. C 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Clin. Psychol. 00:1–11, 2017. Keywords: nonmonogamy; open relationships; polyamory; relationships; relationship counseling Introduction This case makes use of two evidence-based approaches to working with couples: the work of John Gottman, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) as taught by Sue Johnson. Other practitioners may use different models for working with couples, but the integration of Gottman’s work and Sue Johnson’s EFT have had great value in the practice of the senior author of this article. Gottman’s research focused on patterns of behavior and sequences of interaction that predict marital satisfaction in newlywed couples (see https://www.gottman.com/).

  • Open Relationship Work
    How to Make an Open Relationship Work fatherly.com/love-money/how-to-make-open-relationship-open-marriage-work By Carrie Weisman March 16, 2019 Relationships are hard to navigate. Entertaining dynamics that tradition hasn’t informed us on make things all the more difficult. And that’s not exactly great news for those currently treading around the today’s dating pool. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Sex Research finds that searches for terms related to open relationships have been rising steadily for the past 10 years. In a follow-up study, the same group of researchers found that more than one in five Americans have engaged in a non-monogamous relationship at some point in their lifetime. Expressions of romance are evolving. This is a good thing. And for those who are up for it, non-traditional romances have a lot of benefits. But, even those on board with open relationships can have a hard time figuring out how to execute them. How, exactly, do you approach the conversation? What are the best ground rules to lay down for couples who want to try a new arrangement? What are some missteps to avoid? To help answer questions, we spoke to a variety of experts as well as those with first-hand open relationship experience to provide some advice for anyone considering the arrangement. No one knows exactly why certain people gravitate towards certain kinds of relationships. Some say they’re simply not wired towards monogamy. Others say past betrayals have led them down the non-monogamous path.

  • Counseling the Polyamorous Client: Implications for Competent Practice
    fSuggested APA style reference information can be found at http://www.counseling.org/knowledge-center/vistas Article 50 Counseling the Polyamorous Client: Implications for Competent Practice Adrianne L. Johnson Johnson, Adrianne L., is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wright State University. Her experience includes adult outpatient, crisis, college, and rehabilitation counseling. She has presented internationally on a broad range of counseling and counselor education topics, and her research interests include bias and diversity in counseling and counselor education. Abstract The self-reports of polyamorous clients regarding therapeutic experiences raise concerns for the counseling field. Many poly individuals are not receiving quality mental health care or relationship counseling because of valid fears regarding professional bias and condemnation of their lifestyle choices. The unique issues and concerns of polyamorous clients is an emerging interest in the mental health field and counselors have an ethical obligation to understand, explore, and address the unique needs of this population. Introduction The current culture in the United States has historically promoted heterosexual monogamy as the most widely accepted and advocated ethical/moral relationship option available, and clients identifying as polyamorous often practice covertly and with great stress “due to the cultural pressure, social stigmas, or fear of legal ramifications” (Black, 2006, p. 1). Polyamory is a lifestyle in which a person may have more than one romantic relationship with consent and support expressed for this choice by each of the people concerned (Weitzman, 2006, p. 139). Polyamorous people face stigmatization, stereotypes, negative bias, and marginalization in both the mainstream society and in the offices of counseling professionals.

  • Marriage, Free Exercise, and the Constitution
    Minnesota Journal of Law & Inequality Volume 26 Issue 1 Article 2 June 2008 Marriage, Free Exercise, and the Constitution Mark Strasser Follow this and additional works at: https://lawandinequality.org/ Recommended Citation Mark Strasser, Marriage, Free Exercise, and the Constitution, 26(1) LAW & INEQ. 59 (2008). Available at: https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/lawineq/vol26/iss1/2 Minnesota Journal of Law & Inequality is published by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. Marriage, Free Exercise, and the Constitution Mark Strassert Introduction Same-sex marriage opponents frequently suggest that if same-sex unions are constitutionally protected, then polygamous unions must also be protected, as if no more must be said to establish that neither should be recognized. 1 Yet, this reductio ad absurdum fails for two distinct reasons. First, even were it constitutionally permissible for states to ban polygamous relationships, that hardly would establish that same-sex unions could also be prohibited, since the kinds of reasons that tend to be accepted as justifications for polygamy bans have little or no force in the same-sex marriage context. 2 Second, the case establishing the permissibility of polygamy bans is not nearly as obvious or strong as its opponents imply. Indeed, a strong case can be made 3 for the proposition that polygamy is constitutionally protected. Part I of this Article briefly discusses the oft-made claim that if same-sex marriages are constitutionally protected, then plural marriages must also be protected. This Part suggests that although that argument is false because the two are distinguishable in constitutionally significant ways, a good argument can be made for the proposition that both same-sex marriage and plural marriage are constitutionally protected.

  • Consensually Nonmonogamous Clients and the Impact of Mononormativity in Therapy Les Clients Non Monogames Consensuels Et L’Impact De La Mononormativité En Thérapie
    Canadian Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy / 119 Revue canadienne de counseling et de psychothérapie ISSN 0826-3893 Vol. 52 No. 2 © 2018 Pages 119–139 Consensually Nonmonogamous Clients and the Impact of Mononormativity in Therapy Les clients non monogames consensuels et l’impact de la mononormativité en thérapie Taya Cassidy Gina Wong Athabasca University abstract Discourse about mononormativity has increased substantially over the last decade, cat- egorically naming and addressing a North American bias to unintentionally privilege monogamous relationships. The Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association’s code of ethics (CCPA, 2007) outlines a need for counsellors to be sensitive to the diversity of all clients and to refrain from discrimination. The code suggests an ethical imperative to examine one’s values and attitudes when counselling clients who engage in consensual nonmonogamy (CNM). A paucity of understanding exists as to the potential impact a counsellor with a mononormative bias may have on the therapy process. Therapist as- sumptions, client perceptions, theoretical orientation, and clinical intervention strategies from the perspective of providing therapy to CNM clients will be discussed through a synthesis of the extant literature. Recommendations for counselling practice and sugges- tions for further research, as well as counselling education aimed at increasing counsellor competence when working with CNM populations, are provided. Implications of mon- onormativity on the Canadian counselling profession are highlighted. résumé Au cours de la dernière décennie, le discours au sujet de la mononormativité s’est considé- rablement accru, désignant et abordant de façon catégorique le parti pris nord-américain qui privilégie les relations monogames. Dans le Code de déontologie de l’Association cana- dienne de counseling et de psychothérapie (ACCP 2007), il est clairement souligné que les conseillers et conseillères doivent être sensibles à la diversité de tous les clients et éviter toute discrimination.

  • John Witte, Jr. the Western Case for Monogamy Over Polygamy Cambridge University Press, New York and Cambridge, 2015
    John WITTE, Jr. The Western Case for Monogamy over Polygamy Cambridge University Press, New York and Cambridge, 2015 As founding editor and inaugural author of the new Cambridge University Press series on law and Christianity, John Witte, Jr. has written a monumental volume on The Western Case for Monogamy over Polygamy. The choice of topic is not accidental. Witte believes, in my opinion correctly, that polygamy will come to dominate public deliberation and litigation in many Western coun- tries in the near future. Statistics support the same conclusion. According to a Gallup poll, in 2013, 14% of American people accepted polygamy-double the percentage (7%) that accepted it in 2001 (Witte, pg. 464). This explains why, though formally prohibited by the law of each state in the United States, the very status of being in a polygamous marriage rarely moves law enforcement authorities to action. Some academic scholars defend the legalization of polygamy as being the best constitutional, feminist, and sex-positive choice. Many modern Muslims and Fundamentalist Mormons argue in favor of polygamy based on religious freedom, religious equality, self-determination, and nondiscrimination. Many modern liberals argue that the political community must remain neutral on issues affecting ethical independence and for this reason should allow and sup- port all types of consensual adult sexual relationships. For more than 2,500 years, Western legal systems have defended marital monogamy as a normative standard for family law. They have supported the idea and the practice of monogamous marriage because it brings fundamental private goods to the married couple and their children as well as basic pub- lic goods to society.
