My point is not that he be charged with bigamy.
It is to put in context the so-called relationship of him as husband.
Given our now lax society, concepts such as bigamy no longer are considered issues of importance. The point, though, is that under the long held traditional understanding of bigamy or aduluery he is acting in such a manner.
He has no moral right to make any decisions for her.
In court he has won but that does not mean he is right.
The Utah case illustrates this. He is doing the same thing another can be jailed for bigamy.
But is Utah's law the national law or the exception? Keep in mind that bigamy/polygamy is a unique problem in Utah due to its Mormon heritage, so they have to be extra vigilant.
