legality divided by polygamy equals...religious fanatic?
i am amiss and need some input:
i was talking with someone a few weeks ago who has been separated from their spouse for 8yrs, not living together at all during that time. also during that time, both have lived in what they call "common law marriages" for years with other people and one has became a parent with their "common law" partner.
now, i may be "old school", but this sounds like a skate around the polygamy law and when i told this person that a judge would most likely toss them all in jail if they were all found out as no matter how a person slices it, its adultry pure and simple, i was called a "religious fanatic"...
what does religion have to do with breaking the law...
what do marriage vows mean today...
does anyone else think this is not only illegal but just plain wrong...
thank you for your input.
let me also add that before they separated, they had a child together...during their individual "common law marriages", the father never paid a dime to the mother to support the child but had another with his "common law wife" and supports that child and that childs mother.
