Is it illegal for a Muslim to have more than one wife in the US?

Question

Is it illegal for a Muslim to have more than one wife in the US?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Yes.  Polygamy by anyone is illegal in the US.  That is the reason why these polygamy cults are getting so much attention.

Answer 3

yes, the law is the law & that's why some states recgnise g*y marriages and others don't. In this case, the US law doesn't recognise/ allow polygamy & thus it is illegal/ null to have more than one wife in the US.

Answer 4

Yes it is illegal, it's also illegal for mormons. It's odd how some religious things get to bypass laws and others don't.

Answer 5

Most of the Muslims I know only have one wife anyway. But to answer your question... Polygamy is illegal in all states. Somehow, though, the Mormons get past this one.

If I figure out why, do I get a cookie?  

Answer 6

ARE YOU STUPID, NO Why would let a guy do that to you, haha Funny  

Answer 7

Yes and no.  Legally, he cannot.  However, if he is only legally married to one, but he has other "wives" then no one can say a thing.  

Answer 8

because they moved with us

so they need to follow our rules

Answer 9

Yes it is against the law.

Answer 10

He can't have more than one legal wife, but he can have one legal wife and live with as many other "unofficial" wives as Sharia law will allow...

Answer 11

Yes, it is.  It is called bigomy and is punishable by law.  This is the U. S. of A. and one is entitled to one and only one spouse at a time.

Answer 12

It is illegal for anyone to have more then 1 wife in the US!

Answer 13

I hope not.  I think you should have 1 wife for everyday of the week.

Answer 14

Firstly i am a muslim.

Actually men can have 4 wifes ...

More than 4 is wrong.

Prophet mohamed peace be upon him had 7 wifes thats becuase he was a prophet.

prophets can have more than 4 wifes but men can have 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 ...
