Brown v Buhman, 2016

US Court of Appeals Decision on Utah Polygamy Law

The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has reversed a decision striking down the cohabitation provision of a Utah polygamy law. The Court ruled on standing, and not on the constitutional merits of the case, including a challenge raised by the Brown family as to violations of the free speech and free exercise of religion clauses. Lead counsel for the Brown family has noted that the family will appeal the decision.
