Abstract

The note argues that the best interest of children in polygamous marriages is at risk due to the lack of legal protections in the United States. It highlights the financial and emotional vulnerabilities faced by women and children when polygamous unions dissolve, emphasizing the need for legal reforms to ensure equitable asset distribution and custody arrangements.
