Is polygamy rong?

This is entirely a matter of opinion. Polygamy is legal and common in many parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, but in North America, South America, and Europe it is generally unaccepted. Personally, I have nothing against polygamy so long as it is a consenting relationship between adults, the wives are being treated fairly, and the children are being properly cared for.


If a guy you know in high school is Mormon does that mean his family practices polygamy?

Polygamy was practiced in Mormonism many years ago, but is not currently practiced by Mormons today. It is highly unlikely that the kid's family practices polygamy._______While there is a possibility that "this guy"'s family practices polygamy, it is very unlikely. It is true that polygamy, the practice of having multiple wives, was once a part of Mormon tradition, times have changed a great deal since the religion was first founded. It was in 1890 that polygamy was officially rejected as a part of Mormonism, though some sects continue to practice it.______Additionally, no sects practice polygamy that are officially part of the church. If you were to practice polygamy now, you would be kicked out of the church... therefore, any "real" Mormon (member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) would NOT be a polygamist, so your friend in high school almost certainly is notthe people of FLDS practice poligamy they are not Mormons though

Why do Mormons get away with the practice of polygamy?

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) have not practiced polygamy since 1890. Anyone found doing so is excommunicated from the Church. There is a break-off group called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) who call themselves Mormons but are not associated with the original Mormon church (or its practices) beyond the name; this group still believes in and practices polygamy.


Why would the Mormon church denounce polygamy if the Mormon founders taught and practiced polygamy?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have not practiced polygamy since 1890. God has commanded humans to practice polygamy in many different instances throughout history. Readers of the Bible will remember that Abraham and Jacob Israel were affiliated with this practice. Even the great King David had multiple wives. No human can understand Heavenly Father's reasons for commanding that a man have more than one wife. However, when the representative who speaks for God a prophet says that God wants you to do something, you do it. That is what happened back in the day. God told Joseph Smith that He wanted them to practice plural marriage and so they did.


Why could the religion freedom clause in the first amendment not protect the practice of polygamy?

Because Polygamy didn't become an issue in America until the Advent of the Mormon Church and their exodus to Utah in around 1850. Back then a number of laws and legislation were passed because of strong religious beliefs. And lets face it, Paul the guy who shaped the entire christian religion, said marriage should occur only if the two individuals were not strong enough to remain a virgin and did not what to commit sin. So clearly Christianity has conflict with polygamy and thus America has conflict with polygamy. Actually the US shut the Mormon church down because of polygamy and in order to be a recognized as a religion again they had to cut out the polygamy. There were actually a number of circumstances in which Mormon leaders were taking advantage of the polygamy thing.

There are a number of Muslim countries where a man is allowed to take as many as four wives. Also, in some African countries, polygamy is still practiced. And although Mormonism has outlawed polygamy, there are still some fundamentalist Mormons who broke away from the LDS church so that they could continue to practice plural marriage.
