I suppose the problem was that it was different counties. Very important detail. I'll try to remember that.
I'm curious on the exact crime.
if it is marrying multiple people, is it a crime commited in the US if his extra partners never step in the US? otherwise is it prosecuting crimes committed in other countries?
Don't get me wrong, he deserves jail, but I'm curious on the exact sentencing.
Counties not countries. So different places in the same state.
If you are not familiar with how us states are governed, states subdivide into areas called counties (except for Louisiana which calls them parishes). The county is usually the level of government that tracks court records like marriage licenses.
And Alaska calls them Boroughs.
yhea, my bad, missread it
You might have miss read counties for countries.
“Felony Bigamy” is the charge - which I had to look up myself. But is apparently a thing.
I did made that mistake, sorry
I did made that mistake, sorry
IDK, it's illegal, and it's a form of fraud. I think the sentencing should depend on the harm done.
But I doubt that's what will happen. Because oooohhh Bible....
Unless it's Utah where Mormons get to have multiple wives.
I think you may be confused, they are explicitly forbidden from forming polygamous unions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_polygamy it was a condition for joining the union.
That only applies to women and certain children.
No you misunderstood, there are multiple counties in which that man had 3 wifes ! /s
Well, ya take a map and a quarter coin ...
