Laws in the state of Utah that make polygamy illegal are being challenged in court by the family showcased in the “Sister Wives” television reality show. Polygamist family from Sister Wives show taking Utah to court. The suit asks for an injunction against prosecution, contending that because the branch of the Mormon church the Browns belong to practices polygamy, it is their First Amendment right. The lawsuit contends that because the relationships are consensual and are only official in the Fundamentalist Mormon church the family is part of, the state thus has no business interfering, according to Courthouse News.
