>>>But it can be accepted to greater or lesser degrees to have a spouse and additional Lovers.  Although the non-spouses wouldn't get those state "marriage benefits."<<<


Utah recently prosecuted a guy who had multiple wives.  His defense was that they were 'girlfriends'.  The state was able to convince the judge/jury that he was in fact common-law married to them - and got a polygamy conviction.  It struck me as kind of wrong - I mean, a guy can have multiple girlfriends - and even kids with them.  Makes him a bit of a roue, but he can still do it.
