For those following the reality show "Sister Wives," you probably find the polygamous arrangement of the Browns interesting. Of course, we hear polygamy but don't often see how it affects the family members involved. Thanks to Kody Brown and his sister wives, we get to see and understand a polygamous arrangement.
According to Enstarz, Kody Brown and the rest of the Browns take their case to legalize multiple marriages to the Supreme Court. They want Utah to recognize their arrangement by legalizing polygamy.
Fox News reported that Kody Brown and his sister wives sued Utah in 2012 for its historic ban on multiple marriages. The "Sister Wives" clan was under investigation for bigamy since their popular reality show aired on TLC. The Browns claim that the ban on multiple marriages violates their religious freedom and right to privacy.
Per the report, the court documents recorded about 30,000 polygamists in Utah. These individuals believe that polygamy can take them to heaven, a practice taught by the early Mormon Church. The mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has already abandoned the said practice in 1890 and strictly prohibits it now.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor gives the Browns an extension to file a petition of certiorari to have the top court review the case. Kody and his sister wives have until Sept. 10 to do so.
Meanwhile, as the Browns pursue the legalization of plural marriages, other sources claimed that Kody Brown is planning to add more wives to his four sister wives. Parent Herald previously reported that Kody has already found his fifth and sixth wives.
Reports have it that one is a family member named Amber. Meanwhile, the other one is Robyn, his fourth wife's step-niece Mindy. Mindy has appeared in the previous episodes of "Sister Wives" as a babysitter.
