Can DA's overlook Muslim multiple marriages?

In Utah they're ignoring multiple wives as long as everyone is over 18. What should/would happen if a bearded robed Muslim showed up with two or more veiled and covered wives?

Would they treat Muslims different?

    Well if they can overlook that sect of Mormons then why not Muslims? For the record I've never seen or heard of any proof they are overlooking them in Utah. Just because people don't marry but LIVE TOGETHER doesn't mean they can convict them of a crime. May be some old brothel law or something, but for it to legally be polygamy they have to have a marriage certificate.

    Uh, no. Polygamy is not recognized by any governmental authority in the United States.
