But what about when a heathen wants to marry four wives? The ceremony goes through, at some spurious location having significance to the people involved, maybe they sign the register or not but in any event if they arrived already having the wives they'd be acknowledged I presume.
Then, later on, a second wife is sought. Now they can't sign the register without becoming bigamists but the children will be legitimate. And so on for the next two wives. The five of them get full legal protection whether they're registered as married or not (and we've already seen that three of those "weddings" can not possibly have legal standing) but if a Christian shacks up with one or more significant others and never registers anything, they would not be acknowledged and any children would be illegitimate?
That is more than mockery. That is persecution.
