How can bigamy possibly be a crime? Muslims and Mormons of a certain view have it as part of their religion. Orthodox Jews cling to the biblical practice in remote locales (and not so remote), etc. etc.
The lying about having other wives to the new one is certainly illegal, and I guess that qualifies it as "felony" bigamy. But here in Maine, we have many Somalis with 4 wives (at a time) and I certainly have never heard of any prosecution because of it.
In the 21st century United States of America, if 25 women want to live as wives with their "patriarch," their Persian cat(s) or other animals, or anything or anyone else, who's to stop them? Wouldn't be at all surprised if Polyandry raises its fuzzy head ... and who's to stop that? The Pope? Jay Leno? Barack Obama?

How can bigamy possibly be a crime?It's spelled D-E-C-E-I-T.
Authorities are much more likely to make a case of bigamy if the second "spouse" was victimized in not knowing about the first.

The Mormon guy is the wrong color. Somalis be the right color...
L.A. gangbangers have multiple wives and kids.
No arrests them. On the contrary, they get lotsa taxpayer $$ and other goodies.
Polygamy: just another crime only a white man can commit.

Most of these bigamy cases are accidents or laziness in filing for a prompt divorce. This guy is a scam artist and should be punished. If all parties are cool with it, who cares?

Orthodox Jews cling to the biblical practice in remote locales...1. Orthodox Jews do not have a BIBLE; but the Torah...
2. While it WAS 'practiced'; it was NEVER encouraged, but rather the opposite.
