Utah's stupidity doesn't stop there.  The only way to maintain a legal
multi-spouse household is to be legally married to *none* of them, because:

76-7-103. Adultery. (1) A married person commits adultery when he
voluntarily has sexual intercourse with a person other than his spouse.
(2) Adultery is a class B misdemeanor. 

 76-3-204. Misdemeanor conviction -- Term of imprisonment. A person who
has been convicted of a misdemeanor may be sentenced to imprisonment as follows:...
(2) In the case of a class B misdemeanor, for a term not exceeding six months;

Of course, if the sodomy law (M 76-50403, Sodomy, 6 months/$1$2000) is
enforced (and the all-too-likely happens to you while you are imprisoned
for adultery) then you could eventually be serving multipe life
sentences for marital infidelity, and getting repeatedly sodomized too.

Government has business intervening in whatever it thinks it can
intervene in.  If it didn't, it wouldn't be a government.
