The Supreme Court said Mr. Reynolds could not break the law while practicing his religion.
Reynolds v. the United States was heard by the Supreme Court in 1878 in regard the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act placed on the Utah Territory.

The law stated marriage was to be between two people only and therefore he could not be married to more than one woman.
