F. J. Mc- K CarthV. , M The following Is the syllabus o the 1 I Mary Caroline Riddle, respondent, vs. 1 lHaac R. Riddle, appellant. i'V Prior to the enactment by Congress ot iJJ ;; the Edmonds-Tucker law, which went . iji Into effect March 3, 1S7, the common jS -(i law on the subject of marriage was In jj i fdrce In the Territory of Utah. Mar- Ij n rlnge at cfonimon law does not arise un- 1 j,. ;f, less the parties mutually agree to live L ; i together as husband and wife for life to B ;J: the exclusion of all olners. ! ? Notwithstanding thnt plural marriage I Is one of the essential doctrines of the i church, the legal status of marriage i only. exists between parties who, In " Utah, before the enactment of any i statement on the subject have made a i contract of marriage In which they mu- 1 tually agree" to assume the legal obligations obliga-tions of that relation, and who openly cohabit as husband and wife and hold themselves out to the public as such. A man having a legal wife living, married mar-ried two other women. He cohabited with the three until the death of his ; legal wife. After that he continued to cohabit with the two women for several years. He Introduced one of them, both before and after the death of his legal ; wife, as his wife. Pleld that there was no marriage at common law between : him and either of the two'women. Subsequently the man and one of the women went through a formal marriage ceremony performed by a Justice of the Peace. The man stated that one of his reasons for marrying was to disqualify the woman from testifying In the event of his arrest. After the ceremony he continued to cohabit with the two wo men as he had previously done. He told a third woman, who he also married, that he had two plural wives, and also told her about the marriage by the Justice, Jus-tice, and that the marriage prevented the woman from testifying against him. Held, that tho marriage by the Justice was Ineffectual to disturb the polygamous polyga-mous relation existing between the parties. N At the time of the marrlago of the plaintiff and the defendant, who were both members of the Mormon church, plaintiff knew that defendant had two wives. Shortly after the marriage the parties went to the home of one of 'the wives of defendant, where plaintiff was introduced as the wlfo of another man. '.nd within a 'year the three persons be-tran be-tran to live in the same homo, and -four years these women cohabited with defendant de-fendant ns his wives. Defendant testified" testi-fied" that he married plaintiff as a plural vlfe. The form of the ceremony of thr narriage of plaintiff and defendant wa-' ot shown. The marriage was celebrated celebrat-ed in the Mormon church at the tlm" hat church sanctioned plural marriage TTeld, that the parties were not legally' narrled. . i Though a husband Is under a moral obligation to support his plural' wives nd their children, he Is under no legal obligation to do so.
