| Apr 9, 2017 at 21:23 | comment | added | Micha Berger | In a society where women have little earning potential (or no accommodations for motherhood in particular) and a shortage of men, it allows two women to be supported by the same guy. | |

| Apr 9, 2017 at 3:43 | comment | added | DonielF | @DoubleAA (Could possibly be forbidden as ushemartem es nafshoseichem) What about something that is outright permissible in the pesukim? (Okay, I suppose yefas to'ar.) | |

| Apr 9, 2017 at 3:30 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | I can imagine a number of things which aren't outright prohibited which aren't encouraged or ideal. Why is this unique that you ask about it? | |
