Sister Wives’ Star Kody Brown Is Fighting to Make Polygamy Legal in Utah

Sister Wives’ Star Kody Brown Is Fighting to Make Polygamy Legal in Utah//

If it were up to Kody Brown, polygamy would be legal in all 50 states. The Sister Wives star //
filed a lawsuit challenging Utah's criminal polygamy law in 2011 alongside wives Meri Brown, Janelle Brown,//
Christine Brown, and Robyn Sullivan. The family belongs to Apostolic United Brethren faith//
where they believe in the validity of plural families. Keep scrolling to learn more about the Kody Brown lawsuit!//
Who is Kody Brown?
The patriarch of the reality show, Sister Wives, is an advertising salesman who previously lived in Lehi,//
but has since moved to Las Vegas, NV. Kody is part of a polygamist family — he has four wives and 18 children.//
"We chose to be married," Kody previously told The Clicker. "Nobody forced us to do this//
and we choose to stay in it out of love and commitment. Just like any marriage. What is polygamy?//
If you're unfamiliar with this practice — it's simple. Polygamy is the act of marrying multiple spouses.//
Most people engage in monogamy which is the act of being married to one other person.//
While polygamy is currently illegal in the US, it is still practiced in certain religious sects.//
Kody legally married Robyn in 2014. She is technically his fourth "spiritual" //
wife meaning a wife in the eyes of God, not the law. But, the couple later legally married in order for Kody//
to be able to adopt her three children from a previous marriage. This meant that he had to divorce//
his first wife Meri after 24 years together. What is Brown v. Buhman? //
The Brown family filed the suit in the US federal courts. They prevailed in the district court in a 2013 ruling,//
but a unanimous three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ordered//
for the case to be dismissed in 2016. There are tens of thousands of plural families in Utah//
and other states," the family argued in a statement. "We are one of those families.//
We only wish to live our private lives according to our beliefs. While we understand //
that this may be a long struggle in court, it has already been a long struggle for my family//
and other plural families to end the stereotypes and unfair treatment given consensual polygamy."//
What was the final outcome? The case was recently rejected by the Supreme Court.//
The court rejected the family's petition to have their case heard. Despite the family's efforts,//
the case will not be heard by the Supreme Court meaning Utah's anti-polygamy law will remain intact.//
