Plural Marriages Dept: As the primary witness for the attorney-general of British Columbia, Prof. Joseph Henrich was almost unassailable this week as he made a convincing case about the sweeping harms associated with legalizing polygamy, according to Vancouver Sun. Campbell testified that polygamy and equality rights can coexist, and that women in plural marriages and their children suffer no more harm than those in monogamous unions and imagine a fight between Indiana Jones and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. That's how lopsided the battle is, as the trial to determine whether Canada's polygamy law nears its midpoint. Last week, McGill law professor Angela Campbell was grilled for most of a day before Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the Supreme Court of B.C. qualified her as the primary witness for the amicus curiae. The amicus has been appointed by the court to argue against the governments of British Columbia and Canada, and in favour of striking down the law. As
