Question?

Reference: The women from the polygamist compound in Texas.

It is illegal for a man to have more that one wife at a time and a woman having more than one husband would also be guilty of polygamy (although I don't know why on earth a woman would want more than one husband at a time - I have enough trouble handling one).

My question is - are there any legal ramifications for these women married to a man with more than one wife? Is a woman who marries a man, knowing that he has other wives, guilty of anything (other than insanity)?

Probably, though the object of the authorities' efforts are the men that are seen to be the dominant figure in the picture.

what men they never show them, maybe there is only 5 total on the compound/
