The Utah Supreme Court rules in a decision written by Justice Christine Durham: "The fact that our [Utah] constitution requires the state to prohibit polygamy does not necessarily mean that the state must deny any or all civil rights and privleges to polygamists." Therefore, the court rules that polygamists have a right to adopt children.
