Sister Wives’ Brown family filing lawsuit to protect polygamous families from prosecution

The Brown Family (Kody and his wives Meria, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn) stunned the nation when they openly discussed and filmed their polygymist lifestyle on television last year. It was incredible because it’s a minority behavior frowned upon by many, but also because it’s a felony offense under state bigamy laws, including laws in Utah, where the family lived in Lehi until their show aired.

It was already difficult keeping up with the 21 family members on TLC’s hit reality series Sister Wives which features Utah polygamist Kody Brown and his four wives, but throw in the fact that some of the children are from a previous marriage and that one of the sister wives was married to a brother of another sister wife, and what you’re left with is a big ol’ polygamuddy mess!

TLC’s <em>Sister Wives </em>attracted large audiences during its first and possibly only season.  The polygamy themed reality show followed the hectic lives of the Brown family from Lehi, Utah as they struggled with the ins and outs of living in a plural marriage.  In addition to these trials and tribulations a fourth wife, Robyn, was courted by the king of the Brown castle, Kody Brown.
