Montana man inspired by same-sex marriage ruling requests right to wed two wives

Nathan Collier asked a Court to legalize polygamy, said he was inspired by the recent Supreme Court decision that made marriage equal and he was particularly struck by the words of dissenting Chief Justice John Roberts who claimed giving gay couples the right to marry, might inspire polygamy.

And so this week, Mr Collier and his two wives, Victoria and Christine, entered a courthouse in Billings, Montana, and sought an application to legalise the trio’s polygamous union,

“Right now we're waiting for an answer," Mr Collier told The Independent. “I have two wives because I love two women and I want my second wife to have the same legal rights and protection as my first.”
