Why is OK to harrass mormons?

[Tuuvi]

Because they like having 10 wives.

Haha.

The Mormon church banned polygamy around the year 1900. Also in the years where polygamy was practiced not everyone was polygamous, In the region where I live historically only about 25% of families practiced polygamy.

Polygamy has not yet dissapeared, neither in theology nor in practise. Just relegated to the backburner.


And how does that 'only 25% of families practised polygamy' work anyway?
If that one in four polygamous families consists of a husband and four wives, then the marital status of the vast majority of people is affected by polygamy. Three monogamously married men, three monogamamously married women. And one polygamously married man, four polymaously married women, and three men by necessity remaining unmarried.
