Polygamy still illegal in Canada

[Black Aeronaut]

Actually, there is a way to get around it here in the USA.

Don't be legally married to more than one person.

So long as you don't hold multiple marriage contracts and you do not attempt to game the system for the purposes of tax evasion and welfare benefits, then there's not a damn thing that American law can touch you with. That sort of business is strictly between the two that are married (if legally at all).

Granted, there's a certain degree of social stigma, but when a family is sufficiently large enough are you really gonna want to be on their bad side? Not to mention that old saw: what side of history do you want to be caught on in the end?

It's pretty much why there's been a sudden uprising in polyamory here in the USA, much to the chagrin of the Bible Belt.

I can almost see a scene playing out between a wrathful sheriff, a cool-headed lawyer, and the judge caught between them...
