Don’t get me wrong, he deserves jail, but I’m curious on the exact sentencing.
Counties not countries. So different places in the same state.
If you are not familiar with how us states are governed, states subdivide into areas called counties (except for Louisiana which calls them parishes). The county is usually the level of government that tracks court records like marriage licenses.
IDK, it’s illegal, and it’s a form of fraud. I think the sentencing should depend on the harm done.
But I doubt that’s what will happen. Because oooohhh Bible…
I suppose the problem was that it was different counties. Very important detail. I’ll try to remember that.

That only applies to women and certain children.
Unless it’s Utah where Mormons get to have multiple wives.
I think you may be confused, they are explicitly forbidden from forming polygamous unions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_polygamy it was a condition for joining the union.
Do they have any juridical status? Mormons might just live together any that’s it.
Well, ya take a map and a quarter coin …
