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.

Why did the Ten Commandments condemn adultery if the men had many wives?

The ten commandments were written to protect the interests of men, not to circumscribe them. At the time, adultery was thought of as sexual relations with the wife of a Jewish man. If a Jewish man had a second wife or had sexual relations with a single woman or a prostitute, this was not seen as adultery. The consequences of this can most clearly be seen in Leviticus 20:10, which prescribes the severest penalties for adultery: "And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death."
