Abstract

No Free Exercise challenge to the validity of criminal prohibitions on the practice of polygamy has yet succeeded. However, as polygamy appears to be a plausible and secular way of life for many people, other constitutional challenges are worth considering. This Comment argues that criminal polygamy prohibitions should be found unconstitutional under either the Due Process or Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that problems attributed to the practice are better dealt with directly through other criminal laws.
