SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - The Utah state Senate voted unanimously on Tuesday to effectively decriminalize polygamy among consenting adults, approving a bill to reduce the penalty for plural marriage from a felony to an infraction on par with a traffic ticket.

The Republican-sponsored bill easing the law on polygamy, a practice with deep religious roots in the predominantly Mormon Western state, now moves to the Utah House of Representatives, where it is likely to face greater resistance.

Under current law, the practice of polygamy in Utah - typically involving a man who cohabitates with and purports to marry more than one wife - is treated as a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Works for me.

Anyone entering into the contract gets 1/n portion of finance responsibility.
