POLYAMORY: LEGAL REFLECTIONS ON PUBLIC POLICIES DUE TO THE PREVENTION OF FORMALIZATION OF MORALLY STIGMATIZED RELATIONSHIPS BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF JUSTICE

Abstract

This article explores the legal and social implications of polyamorous relationships in the context of Brazilian public policies, particularly focusing on the National Council of Justice's (CNJ) role in preventing the formalization of morally stigmatized relationships. Polyamory, defined as the practice of engaging in multiple romantic relationships with the consent of all parties involved, challenges traditional notions of family and marriage. This study examines the legal barriers faced by polyamorous individuals, the moral stigmas associated with such relationships, and the potential need for legal reforms to ensure inclusiveness and protection for all forms of consensual relationships. The analysis is supported by a review of existing literature, legal precedents, and sociological studies, offering a comprehensive reflection on the intersection of law, morality, and public policy.
