Polygamist Sentenced for Contact With a Teenage Bride (His Third Wife)

[thetrailboss]

Yep, you heard me right. This guy had three wives and married this girl when he was 16. She had three kids with him. One wife just wasn't enough. The Article.

Thanks for the new term: "Plural Marriage."

I can deal with the plural marriage on this man's part, but I do have major problems with keeping a 16 y/o wife. I don't think the punishment was harsh enough. They should make him marry the Irish Head Butting Jockey from yesterday. They deserve each other.

This guy belongs in the looney bin.



Most guys are only insane enough to take one wife. This guy's really gone off the deep end.

My thoughts exactly....he's a glutton for punishment!

Says the engaged man......

Yes, we had a "moment" the other night....I got the silent treatment and delivered some....

One is enough for me.

I think the key to polygamy is in coordinating the silent treatments. Always have two mad at you, and keep one in reserve for when TBS shows Rocky XCVIII

I hear if a man watches a Rocky marathon and a Rambo marathon in succession, a wife can have him pronounced clinically dead.

not to pour cold water, but this would be a "funny" story if it wasn't so sad. This is a big problem with this extreme branch/splinter group of Morman church. I've been on a Jon Krakauer reading marathon and just read "Under the Banner of Heaven" that focuses on the Fundamentalist - if you ever want to get sick just read the 1st 50-60 pages about the suffering that goes on with these young girls.

No, I think that this was meant to be a tongue and cheek thread but also to raise a significant issue for people to discuss. I think that what this guy did was wrong and he robbed a young woman of her life. She will not be able to enjoy the opportunities that other young girls, like my 18 yr old sister bound for Bates College, will get.

Thanks for bringing out the serious side of this issue. Any more thoughts?
