Because some people believe thaT jOSEPH sMITH NEVER REALLY TOOK IT AWAY AND THAT HE JUST SAID THAT SO THAT Utah COULD BECOME A STATE. There are records in the church archives showing many presidents still living plural marriage after Joseph Smith declared that Mormons were to stop living it. But they belive that seceretly he still taught it,

Is polygamy still practiced in the Mormon church?

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the “Mormon†church) discontinued the practice of polygamy in the United States in 1890 and internationally in 1903. Anyone found entering into a polygamous marriage since that time has been excommunicated from the church. The polygamy ban caused some polygamy supporters to split from the church and create their own groups, many of which are still in existence today. Members of these groups often refer to themselves as “Mormon Fundamentalistsâ€, although they are not affiliated with the mainstream Mormon church.
