The L.D.S. (Mormon) Church is often the target of litigation for one thing or another. Most of them are frivolous law suits that come to nothing. The media likes to 'sensationalize' them on front page headlines. Anti-Mormons like to point them out to everyone they talk to or will listen to them. Anyone with any common sense would be able to know that the lawsuit is frivolous and that it will go nowhere.
Many people have done so
She was being sued by someone in the church.
Some Christian denominations point to the few verses from the Bible that vilify homosexuals as justification for opposing civil marriage rights for same-sex couples, even those who do not belong to their church. This is the main reason why the Mormon Church and the Knights of Columbus (an organization within the Catholic Church) were major proponents of Proposition 8. Although some churches cited the fear that they would be sued for discrimination for refusing to marry same-sex couples, that fear is illusory, since churches are exempt from the anti-discrimination laws of California and always have been. A church cannot be sued for refusing to marry people who have been divorced, or who do not belong to their faith, and likewise they could not be sued for discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, race, color or national origin. They are statutorily exempt from anti-discrimination laws.

If you are lied to, nothing. You can choose what to believe and what not to believe, so if someone lies to you there is nothing you can do legally to get back at them. This is especially true in religious cases, because all religion is a matter of personal faith and opinion. If you are mistreated and abused, you can definately seek legal action. I have heard of a few cases within the past decade in which the Mormon Church was sued for abuse from one of their local leaders. In most cases the courts ruled that the Church held little or no responsibility as all local leaders are lay volunteers. When suing as a personal matter between you and a local church leader, the local church leader is almost always found at fault and punished according to the law.
