A self-styled Montana polygamist who was featured on the reality television show “Sister Wives” said on Thursday he will sue the state if it denies him the right to legally wed his second wife.

Nathan Collier, 46, said his bid to make his marriage to his second wife “legitimate” was influenced by the U.S. Supreme Court decision last week that legalized same-sex marriages in the United States.

Collier, his lawful wife and a woman he said he married in a “spiritual” ceremony earlier this week sought a license from officials in Billings to legalize their plural marriage.

Bigamy and polygamy are illegal under both federal and Montana state law.

4. In a marriage all partners are married to each other.

This guy wants to be married to two women but do the woman want to married to each other?
