Good for them.
For the lazy, the man in question is married to one woman, but considers three more to be spouses. They all have 13 kids.
If this is how they want to live, who has a right to say otherwise? Well, Utah says they do:
"Although it is rarely prosecuted, bigamy is a third-degree felony in Utah, punishable by a prison term of up to five years. Under the law, a person can be found guilty of bigamy through cohabitation, not just legal marriage contracts."
This needs to go to the supreme court - what goes on in consenting adults bedrooms or living rooms is none of anyone's business.
sorry, but this is gonna go political fast
