>>> Polygamy is in a sense not illegal. What is illegal is the government recognizing a polygamous relationship as a marriage (it can recognize one man and one woman from that relationship as being married). Another thing that is illegal is fraud. It is fraud if you say you aren't married and sign a marriage lisences with a 2nd person when you were already married. What about the guy in Utah who was convicted of polygamy and sent to prison (his name escapes me)? A couple years ago. I kind of had a strange idea about it, as I felt the guy was just following his religious beliefs, and it seems strange to me that a law against polygamy would trump someone's right to practice their religion as they see fit. This isn't a subject I know much about, but I did think they had convicted that guy of polygamy.
