Is polygamy legal in the United States?
Although poly relationships can have weddings in the United States (and other countries), it’s against the law to marry someone while still being legally married to another person. Polygamous weddings carry only symbolic, not legal, value. Despite the hope for future legal recognition, it’s vital to recognize that a satisfying and joyful polygamous relationship can exist without being legally married and still regarding each other as spouses, living together.
