Facebook Wedding Photos Result In Polygamy Arrest In Michigan

Posted by timothy on from the polygamy-is-fine-unless-you're-married dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Police in Michigan have arrested 34-year-old Richard Leon Barton Jr. on charges of polygamy, thanks to incriminating wedding photos on Facebook. The man unfriended his first wife on the social network before marrying his second wife, but unsurprisingly that wasn't enough."

    And polygamy is illegal why, exactly? (assuming that all involved are ok with it)

    Oh yes, because it's written in that holy book from an ancient goat-herders culture that we somehow think still applies to live in a world that is so radically different.
