The attorney general of British Columbia said Thursday he will not appeal a court ruling that quashed prosecutions of two polygamous leaders.

Michael de Jong said he will, however, ask the province’s supreme court to settle a conflict between the criminal code and the country’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms on polygamy.

Section 293 of the criminal code makes polygamy illegal; the charter allows full exercise of religious beliefs.
