Cody Brown: A Polygamist's Journey

The "Mormon State"

Did you know that Utah is considered the most "Mormon" state in the United States? And did you know that polygamy has long been practiced by Mormons? It's no surprise then that the first case where polygamy was approved by the court happened in Utah. The lucky man who is officially allowed to live with four women is Cody Brown, famous for his television show. However, even before the official approval, Cody peacefully lived as he pleased, with a total of seventeen children among the five adults in the family.

A Well-Known Figure

Cody Brown is a familiar figure in today's America. The reality show "Sister Wives," featuring Cody, his four wives, and their seventeen children, is highly popular. Yes, you read that right – Cody Brown has four wives and seventeen children with them. It may sound somewhat unreal, as polygamy is officially prohibited in the United States. However, as it turns out, where there's a will, there's a way.

The Battle for Freedom

Together with his female harem and their numerous offspring, Cody resides in Utah. However, not long ago, they were forced to move to Las Vegas temporarily because the authorities in their home state began to exert pressure on the happy family. When the county prosecutor threatened to take Cody to court, he didn't wait and filed his own lawsuit. Although the case is still ongoing, many predict a favorable outcome for Brown. Therefore, it is quite possible that polygamy will be officially allowed in Utah in the near future. In any case, he has already won the first battle by obtaining official permission to live with all four of his wives.

The Unconventional Mormon

Cody Brown belongs to one of the orthodox branches of Mormonism, in which the practice of polygamy is one of the main tenets, although many Mormons have long abandoned this practice. His four wives – Mary, Janelle, Robin, and Christine – stand firmly by his side and fully embrace his model of family. They assure everyone that they are absolutely happy in their union of five and sincerely believe that any intrusion into their lives by authorities is unacceptable. They chose this way of life themselves, no one forced them into it, so they don't need any protection.

A Groundbreaking Precedent

Despite the fact that only one wife, Mary, can be legally recognized by law, Cody is now allowed to live with the others as his common-law wives, which is a first in a century. The news of Cody Brown breaking the system and winning instantaneously spread across the country and the world. It remains to be seen whether mass cases of polygamy will emerge in Utah, as the precedent has already been set. However, it is worth noting that many polygamous families already reside in the state, although it is illegal. In his television interview, Brown said, "Thousands of people live in polygamous families in Utah. Now we are free!" Thus, for the first time in a century, a polygamous family in the United States has received official approval from the authorities. The hero of the day is Cody Brown, who is willing to fight for his right to have as many wives as he desires. "I will fight for the freedom to be a free man," he concluded in his interview on ABC News.
