Posted by AlM on Sat Dec 14 13:20:50 2013, in response to Polygamy now legal, posted by Easy on Sat Dec 14 12:29:01 2013. False. All that's legal is to live with multiple women whom you refer to as your wives. You can't legally marry more than one of them.Judge Clark Waddoups of United States District Court in Utah ruled late Friday that part of the state’s law prohibiting “cohabitation” — the language used in the law to restrict polygamous relationships — violates the First Amendment guarantee of free exercise of religion, as well as constitutional due process. He left standing the state’s ability to prohibit multiple marriages “in the literal sense” of having two or more valid marriage licenses. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/us/a-utah-law-prohibiting-polygamy-is-weakened.html |
