+We study the sufficient conditions for the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE)
+under a certain parametric distribution families where
+E(log f(X)) may not exist or may not be  finite, and
+f is the density of the random variable $X$.
+The existing sufficient conditions in
+the classical textbooks (e.g.,
+Ferguson (1996), Casella and Berger (2001), among others)
+for the consistency of MLEs  are not applicable to these families.
+We establish another set of sufficient conditions
+and apply them to these  class of parametric families.
