A British Colombia Supreme Court judge imposed conditional sentences on Winston Blackmore who was found guilty of having 24 wives, while James Oler was said to have five wives.
"He's made it clear that no sentence will deter him from practicing his faith," a judge said of Blackmore, 61, who also has 149 children.
Some of the men's wives were as young as 15 when they were married, adding to the charge. Blackmore received six-month conditional sentence for house arrest that allows him to go to work and deal with medical emergencies.
Oler's term is three months of house arrest, some of the men's wives were as young as 15 when they were married, adding to the charge.
