A father may teach his minor child about polygamy against the mother's wishes because the harm it might create does not supersede his right to the free exercise of religion, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled. However, the court added that some instances could result in the opposite ruling. In the case, the father of a then-9-year-old girl whose parents were divorced argued that there was no proof that the teaching would cause his daughter "grave" harm even though the practice of polygamy is illegal.
