I'm pretty sure that this practice is frowned upon in all 50 states whether or not there are actually statutes on the books prohibiting it. If you're determined to get a little extra-species loving, I suggest that you emigrate to a country where it's not only legal, but encouraged. A quick check of Wikipedia gave me the following options for your unusual tastes in partners: Peru, Greece and New Zealand.

Secular law in most western countries with large Jewish and Christian populations does not recognise polygamous marriages. However, few such countries have any laws against living a polygamous lifestyle: they simply refuse to give it any official recognition. Parts of the United States, however, criminalize even the polygamous lifestyle; these laws originated as anti-Mormon legislation, although they are rarely enforced. Polygamists may find it harder to obtain legal immigrant status

Jesus himself answered this interesting reference when he visited the inhabitants of the ancient Americas as recorded in the Book of Mormon.  The other sheep HAVE to be of the House of Israel because Jesus himself said that he was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel.  So these "other sheep" cannot be the gentiles--they have to a branch of the house of Israel.  When he appeared to these people after his resurrection he told them that it was THEY of whom he spoke in the ancient world that "other sheep I have which are not of this fold."  This single verse is one of the greatest evidences of the Book of Mormon in the Bible today.\n\nGreat question.

As of September 2005 in the United States, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recognizes same-sex marriage, while California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Vermont grant persons in same-sex unions a similar legal status to those in a civil marriage by domestic partnership, civil union or reciprocal beneficiary laws.

Laws bind within the territory.  Laws from one place do not attach to the person when the person leaves the jurisdiction.\n\nThere are some obvious exceptions, for example, when one state recognizes the jurisdiction and acts of another, like marriage.

For sure Maryland ,Massachusetts, New Jersey & Vermount...  i heard that California but i am not sure about that... But in Maryland u do not have to be state resadance to get married there. my 1/2 sisters aunt went to maryland a couple years ago and married her partner\nI remember them saying that it is not recanised as marrige here in pa but they were considerd life partners or a civil union they would not be able to collect from the goverment from one another or file income tax together but just the same they did not care.... it was kinda cool one wore a white! wedding dress and the other a tux and got married right in a gay church. It was something to see i can tell you that much. Her partner ended up dying just 16 months after they were married and she was gay since she was a early teen she had a son from a one night stand with a guy just to see what it was like.. anyway... all she ever wanted was to get married to the right woman  and her dream came true..and her son has a parent in his life he would not of had one because his father was no where to be found. the son lives with the aunt and thinks of her as his mother and is not afraid to tell anyone that his mom is dead but his other mom is raising him now. Now rather i agree with the life style is another story..

It depends on where you live, but if you live in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, or Wisconsin a Yes vote means that marriage is only between one man and one woman and that there is no legal status for any other union than heterosexual marriage. A No vote means that there can be the possibility of a future law recognizing civil unions or marriage between gay or lesbian people but only if a law is both introduced and passed by the state legislature.

No.  Marriages and divorces are recognized in all states no matter where obtained due to the Full Faith and Credit clause of the constition (though now that Massachusetts has gone loopy, that might change).

You can become an ordained minister to performing legal US marriages on this website: http://www.ulc.org/ulc/ \nHowever you will want to check with your state and county to see if they are legal they aren't in all states.

In my state, it is illegal for me to define the word "polygamy."

Go to the County Building, as they should have records of all that are lisc. in your area to perform marriages. That's the best  bet, as if you just look in the newspapers you could get a fraud. Also check out variouse churchs, synagoges,etc.

No, it is illegal in all states.\n\nUtah was required to outlaw polygamy when it became a state.  Some say that the police look the other way still in regards to polygamy in that state.
