Remember that show sister wives?

Polygamy is deeply ingrained in United States history and within many religions.
In the United States it is currently illegal to obtain multiple marriages at once. An interesting case of late was the Sister Wives television show which documented the lives of a Mormon family in which multiple females were "married" to the same man. They did not obtain marriage licenses for all the marriages but lived in the same home and raised their children together.

What was interesting is that the federal judge found that they were in there rights to live as such as long as they did not apply for multiple marriage licenses.



Link hear to an article about the case.

In a few days I will post more about polygamy's deep roots in American History, specifically the histories of both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and the Mormon Churches involvement as it pertains to our nations history.
