Rusty and their church are partly responsible for this, but in no way that can justify being on trial, at least according to current law. Their church forbids sex except for procreation. Rusty wanted more kids and talked her into a fifth. I have no way of knowing, but I would guess he wanted to get a nut, more than a kid. So he got a nut, literally.
As soon as she was locked away, he ran out and got another wife, one who had been “supportive” during his “ordeal”.
