Answer

A Mormon can have one wife or husband at a time. If that marriage ends in divorce or the spouse dies, he or she can get remarried. No different than Non-Mormons.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) may have only one wife. Some Church members practiced polygamy from the early 1840's until 1890, but this practice was banned by Church leaders in 1890. Anyone found practicing polygamy after that time has been excommunicated from the Church.

Answer

One.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abides by the law of the land. The Law states that a person may have only one spouse.

A practice existed, via Godly revelation, in the earlier part of the 19th Century that permitted men, under certain conditions, to marry more than one wife, but this practice was stopped according to later revelation when United States Law decreed that the practice be outlawed.

Those that attempt to practice it today are likely to be excommunicated.

Answer

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as of the year 1890, has discontinued the practice of plural marriage, and any person professing to be a member who practices plural marriage is not considered by the church to be a member in good standing. So the answer to your question is no! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cannot have two wives.

There is a church that broke off from the LDS (Latter-day Saints) Church, which is not a part of the LDS church, called the Fundamentalist LDS church, or FLDS church, which does practice polygamy, and other variants. However they broke off because the Mainstream prohibits polygamy.

Therefore, there is a lot of slander and there are lies told about the real LDS church, however if you want to know what the real professed doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is, go to Mormon.org, or LDS.org.
