Mark Twain found polygamy to be morally and socially reprehensible. He believed it degraded women and went against the principles of monogamous marriage. Twain often criticized the practice in his writings and speeches.

Polygamy is not legally accepted in any state in the United States. It is considered illegal and punishable by law.

Quran says (meaning English translation):

{And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. (21)} [Quran, chapter 30, verse 21]

Meri, Christine, and Robyn are not related. However, Janelle was previously married to Meri's brother and her mother is married to Kody's father. So that makes her Kody's stepsister and previously Meri's sister in law.

For the protection of him and his family, as well as the company he works for, he will not publically release the name of the company. We do know that he works in the advertising/marketing industry.

Polygamy is NOT legal in Sweden!

95% of Swedes used to below to the Church of Sweden which is Protestant/Lutheran. But these days is closer to 70%, mostly due to immigration but also the separation between state and church that took place in 2000.

No. The Brown Family are members of the Apostolic United Brethren. Kody and Janelle grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the 'Mormon' Church) but left because of their belief in and desire to practice polygamy (the Mormon Church banned polygamy nearly 125 years ago). The Apostolic United Brethren is an offshoot of the Mormon Church and continues many of the same beliefs and practices, including belief in the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith.

Sister Wives airs on Sunday nights on TLC. There have thus far been seven seasons.

No. The Sister Wives on TLC have never claimed to be sisters, and they are not sisters, nor are they legally or genetically related in any way. They are Sister Wives - that is a title used to refer to women who share a husband, not to women who share a father or mother.

If one of the Sister Wives divorced Kody, they could marry another man. (This happened with Robyn, who divorced her previous husband and later married Kody) They could not marry anyone while still being married to Kody. Their church (the Apostolic United Brethren) teaches that marriage is only between one man and one or more women. Women cannot be married to multiple men at one time.

Janelle and Christine Brown, two of the four wives in the family featured in the reality series "Sister Wives, are both working in real estate. Exploring this new occupation, preparing for the exam and working around their schedule has been mentioned in several of episodes of the family reality television show "Sister Wives."

The having of a plurality of wives or husbands at the same time; usually, the marriage of a man to more than one woman, or the practice of having several wives, at the same time; -- opposed to monogamy; as, the nations of the East practiced polygamy. See the Note under Bigamy, and cf. Polyandry., The state or habit of having more than one mate., The condition or state of a plant which bears both perfect and unisexual flowers.

I believe that it is a relationship with three people. Like, you, your girlfriend, and your boyfriend.

Polygyny favored strong males. It rewarded the hard-working, wealthy male because they could afford to have many wives and many children. It allowed them to father many more children in a shorter time. The male with a large number of children had special status in the community. Polygyny also affected the status of women in the community by making them, undeniably, the property of males and subject to their control. However, senior wives had control over the younger wives.

Another aspect of polygyny was that wars reduced the male population and having multiple wives helped to replenish the tribe.

Mono, one.

White settlers in the US came from Christian European countries where polygamy was illegal and considered immoral.

Polygamy is frowned upon by most Christians, and it is not practiced in any free democratic country.

Polygamy is technically the act of having multiple spouses. Types of polygamy include bigamy (the act of having two spouses), polygyny (a man having multiple wives), and polyandry (a woman having multiple husbands).

It depends on the religion and culture of the polygamist. Muslim polygamists may have up to three wives, but more than that is forbidden by the Qur'an. In other cultures, a man can have as many wives as he wants. In America, since polygamy is illegal, most polygamists have only two wives - a small family is easier to hide from the public and law enforcement.

Polygamy is accepted in much of the Middle East and Africa and parts of Asia

Polygamy is shown in the Old Testament as a custom among the Jews, at least for those who could afford more than one wife. The Bible does not really provide an end to polygamy.

The practice of polygamy was abandoned by European Jews around 1000 CE, but continued amongst some Middle Eastern Jews until well into the twentieth century.

The early Christians adopted the pagan practice of monogamy. The ancient pagans generally disapproved of polygamy, although they did not actually consider it illegal.

However, The New Testament states that a leader of the church should only have one wife, which leads us to believe that this practice (to live without polygamy) is proper if the head of the church is to follow it.

Not all men are polygamous, but some are because they were raised that way or it is a religious belief. Polygamy is the belief that a man may have more than one wife or relationship with more than one woman.

Are you referring to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the largest of the above, but changed its name to "Community of Christ" in 2001, and therefore is no longer referred to as "RLDS". They do not practice polygamy and often deny that Joseph Smith taught or practiced the doctrine.

The Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a smaller group that broke off from the Community of Christ in 1991. They do not practice polygamy either.

The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is another small group which broke off of the Community of Christ. Their origins are in the year 2000. They do not practice polygamy.

Don't get the above confused with the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ, which broke off from the main body, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are known for their open practice of homosexuality, and at least a handful of members are in openly homosexual polygamous relationships.

It is the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), not the RLDS that is known for its practice of polygamy.

0%. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" Church) have been forbidden to practice polygamy for over 120 years. The practice of polygamy in the Mormon church was abolished in October 1890, and since that time anyone found entering into a polygamous marriage has been excommunicated from the Church.

Those who disagreed with the polygamy ban broke away from the Mormon Church and started their own groups. Many of these groups are still in existence today. They sometimes are called "Mormon Fundamentalists", but they are not affiliated with the Mormon church and both groups (the Mormons and the Fundamentalists) see each other as apostates and don't want anything to do with each other.
