True, but a uniform recognition of the definition of marriage was a REQUIREMENT for statehood. Are you saying that once Utah became a state it would have been justified to pull out of its agreement and re-legalize polygamy? You can't be saying that.

No, uniform recognition of the definition of marriage was NOT the requirement. Not having polygamy was the requirement, and no - since it was a condition of statehood, they could not back out and re-legalize it. However, such was NOT a condition, say in New York.
