A 30-year-old woman from Hubei Province was sentenced to 18 months in jail for polygamy even though she never legally married her second "husband," Shanghai Daily reported.

The woman, identified in the Hongkou District People's Court only by the surname An, was given a reprieve, however, meaning if she doesn't break the law for several years she won't have to serve the prison term. Her lover Xia Yang, who was also married, was given a similar sentence previously by a separate court.
