− It is mere bigotry to suggest that polygamy is resorted to out of a desire for sexual indulgence. I have known cases in which a person inclined towards such indulgence has been able to safeguard himself against it and against sexual misconduct by recourse to the blessed system of polygamy, and this device helps such a one to lead a virtuous and pious life.
