The Mormon church in the 1800's could, Church leaders regulated the practice. Those entering into it had to be authorized to do so, and the marriages had to be performed through the sealing power of the priesthood. In 1890, President Wilford Woodruff received a revelation that the leaders of the Church should cease teaching the practice of plural marriage. This is one of many, but is the most known in western culture.

At various times, the Lord has commanded His people to practice plural marriage. For example, He gave this command to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, and Solomon.

I believe it is Muslim and/or Israeli. I know for certain that the Muslims believe in having multiple wives as a reward for them when they pass on into the next life. It's certainly not Christian or Lutheran. Hope this helped! :)
