Lawmakers cracking down on 'Lost Boys' issue
8 comments | Read story
Mostly only in Utah does Bigamy and polygamy mean the same thing. Historically, bigamy was a crime of fraud. It was when a person would legally marry more than one person without the knowledge or consent of the spouse. It really is a different issue. In polygamy cases, the parties all are aware of each other. Utah and a couple other states have restated their bigamy laws to incorporate polygamy causing the confusion.
In most states a charge of bigamy is sought only if the offended spouse wishes it. The confusion in UT/AZ and TX complete.
