Actually, this a states rights issue.
We don’t much care for the polygs out here in the West.
When the FLDS moved into Texas, the state legislature criminalized childmarriage and childrape, by enacting laws that made sexual contact with a 16 or 17 year old minor a first degree felony, performing a marriage involving a minor a class A misdemeanor, falsifying age a class A misdemeanor, etc.
So a 16 or 17 year old girl involved in a “spiritual” marriage, is not REALLY married, and therefore her “husband” or “statutory rapist” as we might say is liable for prosecution under Texas law.
