Will a Muslim with multiple wives who travels to the U.S. be charged with polygamy?
<p>If you are a Muslim with multiple wives, and you travel to the U.S., will you be charged with polygamy?</p>

<p>What if you are also a U.S. citizen?</p>

<p>(I'm just curious how this works for people from Saudi Arabia, etc.)</p>

<h2>No</h2>
<p>However, only the first wife is recognised as a wife under US law.</p>
<p>Please note that it is not illegal to live in a polyamorous relationship in the US: only to marry in the US while still married to another person.</p>
