The law that is being challenged is not bigamy (where you have more than one LEGAL spouse). The law in question prohibits a married couple from 'cohabitation' with another adult and calling that spouse a 'spirit spouse'. All three adults would be breaking the law, not just the male head of the household. <br /><br />2. From what I know of most states, Utah is the only state that still prohibits this type of cohabitation arrangement. In order for Utah to gain statehood, the Mormons had to publicly prohibit polygyny (where one husband has multiple spouse-like relationships, more commonly known as polygamy), so this law didn't die out and was frequently used up until the late 20th Century.<br /><br />3. Although the Browns kept saying that they didn't want Kody to go to 'jail' (it is not likely that he would have spent anytime behind bars after posting bail), all the wives were also at risk for being arrested. But no judge would send all of those kids into foster care so if anyone was to spend time in 'jail', it would have been Kody. I do believe this is why the wives were more freaked out than seemed logical.<br /><br />Welfare fraud is another story entirely. And the Browns were incredibly naive to think that their bankruptcy paperwork wouldn't be reviewed/dissected by powerful LDSers trying to keep their polygamy from the national discussion. <br /><br />I find the Browns' decision-making process very flawed and lacking thought into potential consequences. Every decision they've made thus far has done nothing but create family strife and seems to only be in the best interest of Kody. The only decision they made that I agreed with was not letting Mariah stay in Utah.<br /><br />Oh well, I guess they are dealing with the emotional toll it took on their kids.

However, if you have a particularly ugly divorce, the ex can run you up a flagpole for "dating" before the ink is dry.<br /><br />I would think if polygamy is legalized, there would have to be some paperwork where all partners are aware of and agree to the marriage.

If he took half your financial resources to support another family, you get cheated in more ways than one, and he would be within his legal rights to do it.

The preponderance of polygamy is NOT the Browns, it is mostly used in destructive cults. Also, it is in the interests of the LDS church to keep cohabitation as an illegal act (although a third degree felony may be too harsh). So, for these reasons, I believe the Browns' case will most likely be dismissed (and also for the reasons outlined in the Motion for Dismissal, and in my previous posts).<br /><br />I could be very wrong, but I don't think this is the case to properly challenge the law. One of the Browns would have had to have been arrested and convicted before they have grounds to challenge the law.

It's not fair for Utah to call them felons in the paper and then turn around and say we don't enforce our own laws. The kicker is that the Brown case is still open! They still won't promise not to prosecute!<br /><br />I think the Browns are going to win. As much as I hate polygamy and the Browns, it is a crap law.
