It is illegal to take multiple wives in the US, so why didn't they arrest the men breaking the law in the fundamentalist compound in TX? Many in that community also collect welfare checks for their huge families.

>some Muslim men with multiple wives under sharia are being paid welfare benefits for all of them, as wives, in accordance with specific guidelines from the Department for Work and Pensions, even though polygamy is against the law in this country."

Where this all comes apart is under criminal law----where does criminal behavoior begin and religious behavior stop.<
