I think that only the first marriage would be recognized in the United States unless the first wife had died or the couple had actually been legally divorced. * Yes. The US recognizes a marriage that is deemed legal in the country in which it was performed as being legal in the US.

Who do you call to report polygamy in new york city?

No one. If everyone involved is ok with it, you should be to. Polygamy isn't illegal, Bigamy is. I advise you mind your own business. After all, polygamy is becoming very popular with both surging populations of women, American men becoming lazier and lazier and wealthy ambitious men are becoming harder and harder to find. Also, as America becomes more liberal and big government oriented laziness is exploding all over the place.


Do you think polygamy is still relevant?

Polygamy is slowly declining in areas of Africa where it isn't religiously mandated. As women get rights, education and assets, they have choices. Polygamy is an inherently abusive system for women, and they avoid it. Traditional non religious polygamy is tied to a power structure based on crops and land as wealth, and as money becomes more important, large polygamous families are very difficult to support in a way that increases your status. Religion based polygamy depends on indoctrinating women from an early age, and will take longer to stamp out as long as religions like Islam hold political power in so many areas. They can use their political power to restrict women's choices.
