Joe Rogan Experience #2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aired Aug 5, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
A man in Canada was recently married to four women at once with multiple marriage licenses.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Polygamy is a criminal offense in Canada under Section 293 of the Criminal Code, and the ban has been upheld by the courts, with actual convictions on the books. Provinces also require proof you're not already married before issuing a marriage license, so a man legally holding four simultaneous marriage licenses isn't something the system allows.
