Judge Strikes Down Part of Utah’s Anti-Polygamy Law

HeadlineDec 17, 2013

In Utah, a federal judge has struck down parts of Utah’s ban on polygamy. The judge ruled that while Utah can prevent people from obtaining multiple marriage licenses, it can’t enforce a ban on cohabitation, which is the provision used to prosecute polygamists. The case stemmed from a lawsuit brought by Kody Brown, who stars with his four wives in the reality TV show “Sister Wives.”
