In the past, the French government granted certain French citizens abilities that no other citizens had. One of these abilities was the right to enter into polygamous marriages. She recognized that granting these rights creates a snowball effect for more exclusive rights to the group. She writes: “In other cases, groups have claimed the right to govern themselves, to have guaranteed political representation, or to be exempt from certain generally applicable laws. » Immunity from certain generally applicable laws, for example, provides a loophole for men to engage in self-serving practices that may include a means of controlling women. In fact, Moller states that "also in polygamous cultures, men readily recognize that this practice is consistent with their personal interests and a means of controlling women." Such practices are both immoral and unfair to women as a whole and warrant support for universal human rights and equality for all individuals..
