In Brazil, cohabitation is legal nationwide. A man who is legally married to one woman can live with a "second wife" in the same house as the first (official) one. But a man can't be married to two women or more at the same time.
But there have been a few poliaffective unions registered in Brazil. There was one in Tupã (state of São Paulo) between a man and two tomen, A second one was among three women in Rio dee Janeiro. Another six such unions were celebrated. There kind of unions, although unusual in Brazil, are not ilegal.
But a fedral legislator in the country, Vinicius Carvalho (of the Brazilian Repblican Party-PRB, in São Paulo), wants to outlaw these kind of celebrations, which include polygamy and polyamory. He says: "Unions like these are being celebrated in defiance of Brazilian law. Recognizing polygamy in Brazil is an outrage that hurts to death the traditional family in total contradiction with our culture and social values".
He adds: "this practice hurts forcefully the family premise as well as it goes against our social and cultural values”. He makes an exception: As a citizen, I may not agree, but these people will always have my respect".
But polygamy in Brazil are not allowed only when it comes to marriages. But this gay wants to go further, and also outlaw these other forms of contract.
This political parted has strong links to a Brazilian evangelical church called the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, founded Bishop Edir Macedo in 1977, in Rio de Janeiro. This church got famous in Brazil one of its preachers kicked a statue of Our Lady of Aparecida, the patron saint of the country, on national television, during a sermon about idolatry.
They've recently built a replica of the temple of Solomon in the city of São Paulo.
