Considering the move to overturn sodomy laws and the ongoing attempt to legalize "gay marriage" how much longer will it be before there is a push to legalize polygamy? |
One needn't do the license+vows thing to be legally married here. All that's necessary is to present yourselves as married.
Now, THAT they've done.
So I can think of no legal reason these people - especially the men who've impregnated multiple women - shouldn't be charged with bigamy.
