Polygamy was banned in mainstream mormonism before utah became a state. here is an excerpt from an interesting article on how a woman escaped it. and since i will get asked, yes i grew up mormon but i cant stand religion.
| quote: | I started sewing my wedding dress when I was 14 years old. Most girls would never think of marriage at such a young age, but some of my peers were already wives and mothers. I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was married off, just like my mother had been, to a man who would eventually have three or more wives.
Tell us what you think >

I was one of 13 children raised by our father and three mothers in a fundamentalist Mormon community in Utah. The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) is not associated with regular Mormonism (LDS). FLDS followers practice the “Principle” of polygamy, which is now banned by the mainstream Latter Day Saints. The idea behind polygamy in the FLDS is that a man must have at least three wives in order to go to heaven. Young girls are “placed” with husbands by the church leader, or Prophet. These spiritual marriages are not legally binding, but in the eyes of FLDS members, they are sacred. If a woman serves her husband faithfully, he may invite her to join him in the celestial kingdom of heaven. But should a woman disobey the Prophet and refuse a life of polygamy, she will be damned to eternal hell. |

funny, the FLDS have it kind of 180 from the radicals you see in the middle east....they want 50 wives/virgins now; and the ones overseas you get 50 wives/virgins after you commit suicide. |

yeah they use sex solely for procreation and use that as a way to control women. sad but true.
