A Utah woman who describes herself as a former polygamist says she would be happy to enter into another plural marriage if the opportunity arose.
She should not be denied by laws imposed by people who don't even know her.
She told B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman that she had some "very good times, some very positive times" during the polygamous marriage.
Some women enjoy polygyny.
She also had some "very challenging times" when the first wife had an affair and left, she said.
"It was especially hard when the marriage broke down and there was a loss of trust," she testified.
The first wife, Victoria Prunty, became a third wife in another polygamous marriage before becoming a spokeswoman for a group called Tapestry Against Polygamy, which opposes plural marriage, the court heard.
It's convenient that Prunty wants to keep this freedom to marry illegal, while she had the freedom to cheat.
Despite the divorce of the first wife, Bauman said she hopes to re-marry into a polygamous relationship.
"I do hope to be able to live in a plural marriage again. It would be wonderful if I could do it without a law against it. When that plural marriage ended, it broke my heart."
She should have that freedom to marry. We need full marriage equality.
