Jailed Man Charged With Bigamy After 2 Wives Pay Him A Visit

[rockin'robin]

The suspect says he didn't realize he was committing a felony.

HENRICO, Va. (AP) — A Virginia man will be spending more time behind bars after his second and third wives showed up to visit him in jail at the same time.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1JbwD2d ) reports that Frank E. Blake Jr.'s visitors led investigators to discover that Blake hadn't divorced his second wife before he married his third wife. Authorities also say Blakemarried his second wife before his divorce from his first wife was finalized. It's unclear why Blake was initially in jail.

Blake pleaded no contest Tuesday to a charge of bigamy, stemming from the overlap between the end of his first marriage and the start of his second. He was sentenced to 1.5 years imprisonment, with 3.5 years suspended.

The laws against bigamy/polygamy have nothing to do with what's happening in the bedroom. Those laws aren't against sex acts or private behaviors. They are against fraud and acquiring benefits.

For example, who gets Social Security death benefits when a spouse dies? Who gets custody of the kids? Who inherits the house? Who has the right to figuratively "pull the plug" on a hospitalized spouse? Who collects the military spouse's retirement benefits?

Bigamy/polygamy laws are not about who's sleeping with whom but who has fraudulently created a legal partnership.

So you are arguing utah had to make poligymy illegal in order to join the union due to what then?

What do married couples do in the bedroom?

The state has made it illegal to have more then one
wife.

As a believer in freedom.

I think authoritarian laws such as those should be repealed.

Note

I.was married once.
I cant fathom.the nightmare of having more then one wife ......even for me, alas that would be to much pain.

But i hold freedom dear
So if thats the pain some wish to endure..

So be it

Freedom.
It actually to me means something....

Again, a "non-bedroom" issue. That's politics. Lawmakers didn't care about who's sleeping with whom--they just can't be legally married.

What do married couples doin the bedroom?

Anything they want. That has nothing to do with inheritance, government benefits, etc.

You can believe what you want.

I'm not arguing for or against multiple spouses. I'm explaining that it has nothing to do with the government being in the bedroom.

Obviously, a man can sleep with more than one woman without being married.

If it is made legal to have multiple wives, then what is the plm?
Fraud exists in all legel things, banking as an example, should we make banking illegal to fight fraud

AYou can believe what you want.

Thank you for your permission.

Again ill ask
If its made legel then what then is the issue?
Legalize it, and regulate it like all marrieges..

I dont buy the argument keeping something illegl actually fights or prevents fraud. If so then lets make banking illegal.
Should stop allot of fraud
Mmmmm.

Truth is

Its illegal due to religious and cultural reasons.

Utah wasnt told to end polygymy to join the union.over fraud concerns.
Other factors where involved.

So
What then is the issue if its legalized?

Utah is strange.

Not to me, I believe that polygamy should be legal, some families have different types.

No one should judge on different families, if they want 2 or 3 wives so let them do it, not my problem.

Agreed but was it consenting? Meaning did the wives know about each other... Granted this is just another law reflecting the religion of the land... And the day they start writing laws against being a douche would be scary...
