Polygamous US trio seek wedding licence

A US man says his bid to apply for a marriage licence to legitimise his polygamous relationship is "about marriage equality".

A MONTANA man says he was inspired by last week's US Supreme Court decision legalising gay marriage to apply for a marriage licence so that he can legally wed his second wife.

NATHAN Collier and his wives Victoria and Christine applied at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings on Tuesday in an attempt to legitimise their polygamous marriage.
