The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) allowed men to have more than one wife for a period of 50 years, between 1840 and 1890. This practice was called "polygamy" or "plural marriage". Polygamy has been banned in the Mormon church for over 120 years, and anyone found attempting to marry multiple wives is excommunicated from the church. There were some who disagreed with the polygamy ban. These broke off and formed their own groups, many of which still exist today. These groups have similar beliefs to the mainstream Mormon church, but still practice polygamy. They call themselves "Fundamentalist Mormons". There are less than 100,000 Fundamentalist Mormons, and there are over 14,000,000 Mainstream Mormons. The Mainstream Mormons and the Fundamentalist Mormons generally do not accept each other as legitimate.
