Nigerian music superstar Fela Kuti let desire usurp logic when he married 27 women 40 years ago. Downgrading to 12 spouses at any given time still did not alleviate the need for cash. Such large-scale polygamy is difficult for anybody to aspire to. It’s also illegal, as Lehi, Utah’s Brown – star bigamist of “Sister Wives” – has come to discover. CBS News reports that Mr. Brown and his wifely bounty – Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn – are all under investigation for charges of bigamy.

‘Sister Wives’ freely support their polygamist lifestyle
TLC attempted its due diligence before shooting. They asked the Utah Attorney General if the concept for “Sister Wives” would fly. It was a reasonable inquiry. Attorney general spokesman Scott Troxel informed the Browns that when bigamy is a third-degree felony in Utah, it is rarely investigated due to manpower issues and also the need for money within state police force. Typically, polygamists in Utah are only investigated if child abuse or child trafficking is suspected. However, the publicity “Sister Wives” has generated prompted investigation, writes Radar Online.
Despite the bad publicity, Kody Brown and his four wives see nothing wrong with bigamy.
Janelle Brown, 40, mother of six of Kody Brown’s 13 children, put it this way: ” If we raise productive, contributing members of society who are moral and ethical, that’s our final goal, whatever their path is”. Three stepchildren also factor to the Brownian equation.
‘Sister Wives’ opened Monday, September 27 on TLC
TLC started airing “Sister Wives” on Monday, September 27. Based on People, episode one of the reality series focused on adding Robyn and her three kids from a previous marriage to the roster of spouses. Presently, six more shows are scheduled for season one, but Utah authorities may change that schedule for TLC.
Troxel stated in a declaration that “Right now, it is not in our hands, but we’re not closing the door”.
