The general opinion of the rest of the United States was that the practice of plural marriage was offensive. On July 8, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Law which forbids the practice in US territories. President Lincoln told the church that he had no intentions of enforcing it if they would not interfere with him, and so the matter was laid to rest for a time. After the Civil War, im ...

| | | | Plural marriage - The practice of polygyny: Encyclopedia II - Plural marriage - Critical views According to sympathizers, Smith, Young and other prominent Church leaders were reluctant to embrace the practice of plural marriage especially given their strict Victorian morals. Some critics contend that Smith at first committed adultery with Fanny Alger, a young maid in the Smith household, and later relied on the Biblical rationale of plural marriage to legitimize his immorality.
Some critics, expecting the LDS Church's formal departure from plural marriage to equate with a doctrinal renunciation, see the church's current policy ...

These groups continue to practice 'the principle' despite the ostensible opposition of the government and LDS church leaders, and consider the practice to be a requirement for entry into the highest heaven, ...

Although there is some disagreement as to the precise figure, many estimates state that Joseph Smith was married to about 33 wives during his life. Under the doctrine of plural marriage, the first wife's consent should be sought before a man marry another wife. A revelation given to Joseph Smith says, "then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed...and she then becomes the transgressor; and he is exempt" from having her permission (Doctrine and Covenan ...
