It's illegal.

In one of my classmate’s blogs, my classmate discusses how separating children from their families and acts against polygamy are unconstitutional. I respectfully disagree. In the same way that using certain drugs are illegal, even though considered by some to be a religious right, so is polygamy illegal.

I am certainly no Christian, and I have no personal problem with polygamy, but it is still against the law. While I do agree that polygamy of consenting adults ought to be legal and protected by the right to freedom of religion, I still find the El Dorado case appalling. Many of the brides of were underage and forcefully married to older men. Ick.
