America Needs to Enforce Anti-Polygamy Laws More Sternly

In the last few years in America there has been an outburst of Polygamy issues. Even though that the practice of multiple marriages has already been deemed illegal in America, many people are starting to see that it is a law that has been taken lightly. Due to recent events that have occurred, the issue of polygamy has been brought to America’s attention. One example in particular was the Fort Concho, Texas polygamy community being raided. Here several hundred women and children had suffered significant mental and physical abuse in practices that clearly violated and contradicted American law. It is clear in looking at examples of polygamy issues throughout America, that the law that prohibits polygamy needs to be more strictly enforced so epidemics in communities like this can come to a complete end. This calls for the American Government to take more active role in enforcing a law that they have ignored for many years.
