Yep, Michigan law calls this polygamy and not bigamy as one might expect.  The sentence is surprisingly lite…I wonder how a male defendant would have fared.  Anyway, here’s another interesting tidbit from the Michigan penal Code for those of you living there:

750.441 Teaching, soliciting and advocating polygamy; felony.
Sec. 441.
Teaching, soliciting and advocating the practice of polygamy—Any person who shall solicit to a polygamous life, or teach polygamy as a correct form of family life, for the purpose of inducing men and women to enter into the practice of polygamy or advocate the doctrine and practice of polygamy, or attempt to persuade any person by private or public discourse to adopt a polygamous life, shall be guilty of a felony.

I moved out of Michigan back in 1991. 

A Bay City woman who pleaded guilty to polygamy will stay in jail for another 16 days.

Macomb County Circuit Judge Peter J. Maceroni on Monday sentenced Martha A. Flemming to 90 days in jail, with credit for 74 days.

Flemming, 43, was still married to Charles Nellett in January when she married Albert Flemming Jr. at a St. Clair Shores church.

Nellett and Flemming wed in 1995.

Martha Flemming returned to Bay County after disappearing in April from the Detroit home she shared with Albert Flemming.

Also missing were Albert Flemming’s car and an $8,000 inheritance check he received from an uncle, St. Clair Shores police have said.

Police arrested Martha Flemming in September in Bay City. She pleaded guilty in October.
