Best Answer

If a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is divorced or widowed, they may choose to remarry. Mormons are not allowed to be married to more than one person at a time. The Church has very conservative standards of chastity and fidelity, and members are expected to avoid any sexual relationship outside of a legal heterosexual marriage. Those who do not risk excommunication from the Church.

Is there a Mormon mafia?

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' Church) does not have a mafia, and Mormon members are excommunicated from the Church if they are members of any mafia. The Church does have a security force at Church headquarters, which is somtimes nicknamed the "Mormon Mafia" due to their uniform, which more closely resembles a secret service member than a typical security guard.

How many wives are allowed by Mormon living in Mexico?

All members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) may have one wife or husband at a time, regardless of where they live. Mormons are not allowed to have more than one wife at a time; they may marry more than once only if they are divorced or widowed.Mormons accepted polygamy (having more than one wife) from about 1840 to 1890, when the Church banned the practice. Some members in Mexico and Canada continued to practice polygamy, necessitating a second ban in 1904, which explained that polygamy was forbidden among all church members, not just those in the United States. Since that time, anyone found to be practicing polygamy is excommunicated from the Church.
