As non-traditional relationships become more visible across Canada, a growing number of people are entering into polyamorous relationships. The legal system is struggling to keep up.
While polyamory itself is legal, experts say gaps in Canada’s legal framework leave multi-partner families navigating uncertain terrain when it comes to property, parenting and financial protections.
At the centre of the issue is Section 293 of the Criminal Code of Canada, which criminalizes polygamy — but not polyamory.
Muslim polygamy is practiced in Canada without any punishment that I am aware of.
Just what you’d expect of an unassimilable parallel society and a weak host nation.
