Polygamy should not be illegal. The first amendment to our constitution is freedom of religion. The fundamentalist sects of Mormonism clearly believe (and have since their beginnings) you must take plural wives to enter the kingdom of heaven. The Government should not be in the business of marriage in the first place. Anyone’s marriage! They only started insisting on government controlled marriages when they implemented the IRS.

Before the government stuck their stupid noses in it, it was between a man a woman and the preacher….. And The Devine Creator of course.

They wrote their names, the date in their bibles, and who was the minister, preacher, pastor or priest. The priest signed the bible, as did the witnesses and it was done.

We wouldn’t have the problems we have today fighting over gay marriage or polygamy marriages exc. If the government kept out of it in the first place.

Child abuse is another matter. I believe it is tradition that gets the girls married off so early, not any written laws by Joseph Smith. I think it’s fair enough to intervene when very young girls are forced into marriages.
