Double your anguish...double your pain... that's the nagging and the ragging... of double wife gum.

It is weird that he sits in jail Bc he had two wives. Seems so pointless yet so Louisiana.

quote:

Bigamy is a crime of having two or more marriage licenses. Marriage license applicants also swear under oath that they are not currently married, etc.


The statute says nothing about marriage licenses or lying on a marriage license (which would be perjury or fraud, anyway). It’s simply illegal to have two wives.
quote:

§76. Bigamy
Bigamy is the marriage to another person by a person already married and having a husband or wife living; or the habitual cohabitation, in this state, with such second husband or wife, regardless of the place where the marriage was celebrated.

I bet the statute could be invalidated if all parties consented to the bigamy. Would be a tougher case since he was hiding it.

Chaffie, Chaffie, Chaffie...



Folks are always decrying the lack of nuclear African-American families and this sumbitch is single-handedly trying to do what he can to help the statistics.

Jeesh people!

Let the wives and civil court decide this. Leave the criminal court out of it.

PSA from married and divorced men.

You left out the part of the statute that says who it doesn’t apply to-legally divorced people, which this guy isn’t.

Chaffie Brown, 50, was booked into jail on bigamy charges – a rarely seen charge tied to the crime of being married to more than one person simultaneously.
