Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cannot marry more than one spouse at the same time. If a spouse dies, the living spouse can remarry. If a divorce occurs, both parties can marry again. In addition to the traditional concept of marriage, members of the Church also practice temple sealings in which marriage relationships are sealed for eternity. If a man's wife dies, and the man marries another woman, he may be sealed to the second wife (or any subsequent wives).

Not while they are alive. However, a man's wife may die and he can be sealed to another woman. But if a woman's husband dies and desires to be remarried, she must request of the First Presidency to have her first sealing cancelled before she can be sealed again. In effect, in the afterlife a man can be married to more than one woman.

NO. A man must only have one wife. It is not true that a man may have more than one wife at a time and be an active Latter-day Saint. It is true that a man may marry another woman after his wife is dead if he still lives. We believe in eternal marriage so in the next life, or after the ressurection, he will have all the wives he was sealed to (married eternally) in his mortal life. When you marry, you are the only one he will have in this life. If your husband attempts to take more, if he is LDS, he will be removed from the church and stripped of eternal blessings and will have no wife for the eternities if he does not repent.

Not the ones I know.. they do not even support it.

Morons do, I don't know about Mormons though.

There are something like 60,000 Morman polygamists currently in Utah. Info from http://www.absalom.com/mormon/polygamy/faq.htm

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not practice polygamy at this time. Any member who is caught practicing this is excommunicated. Authorization to practice polygamy must come from God through His chosen president of the Church and this authorization has not been given since Wilford Woodruff was commanded to end the practice in 1890. I would also like to address one of the criticisms from a link in another answer namely the lack of prosecutions of polygamists. The people who bring this accusation up do so to try and say that we are not really interested in stopping polygamy. However, I would ask you to consider a question. Given current attitudes toward sexuality, how likely is it that you could actually get a conviction on a polygamy charge when the participants are all consenting adults? Most of society has given up on supporting traditional ideas of sexual morality. So, as long as all parties are consenting, they don't see anything wrong with premarital sex or even extramarital relationships. Given this attitude, how absurd is it to say that we are going to prosecute one group just because they call their relationship a marriage but we are not going to prosecute another group because they don't call their relationship a marriage. Do you see the hypocrisy in this stand? Add to this hypocrisy the difficulty of even proving that a polygamous marriage exists as opposed an adulterous relationship. How do you prove that the people are actually married to each other rather than just living together when there is no official record of a marriage? You can't force the participants to testify against themselves. It is these problems with the anti-polygamy laws that have been responsible for the lack of prosecutions rather than an ambivalence toward the practice. Because of these problems, prosecutors prefer to go after the polygamists for crimes of which they are more sure to get convictions. This includes crimes such as the rape of minors and welfare fraud where they can stand on much more solid legal grounds. Now, in writing this, don't think that I am justifying the practice of polygamy at this time. Those who are currently practicing it are doing so outside of the bounds set by God. Therefore, they are committing adultery which is wrong. However, I just can't help but to note the hypocrisy of those that condemn this practicing while condoning sexual relationships outside of the bonds of marriage. ************** "Stableboy: Well I think the Mormon church has a right to declare "we don't do polygamy" anymore, and have that be respected as the official position, despite the existence of offshoot branches. And I've not heard of people complaining about failure to prosecute polygamy, but I've heard plenty about failure to investigate and prosecute these small sects who marry off their young daughters to sect leaders, etc. -- i.e. the Warren Jeffs types. Do you think the predominantly Mormon population in Utah is reluctant to encourage pursuing these groups for some reason?" I don't think that it is a reluctance to prosecute the crimes. It is the difficulty involved in prosecuting the crimes. You have to remember that the FLDS communities are very insular. They have pretty much cut themselves off from the outside world. Outsiders are not welcome and few people in these communities will talk to outsiders. Additionally, the police in these communities are completely under the control of their religious leaders. Under such circumstances, it can be very difficult to gather the kind of evidence needed for the successful prosecution of these people for these crimes. Jeffs made the mistake of driving out and/or allowing to escape too many potential witnesses to his crimes. Hopefully, they are able to provide enough evidence to get a conviction.

Simple answer....NO....Its against the law. They would go to jail.

Some have more than one wife but not all. Polygamy is looked down upon.

The answer is NO not legally in the USA... Men marrying more than one woman is illegal... Spiritually though in the old History of the LDS or RLDS church it was done...

Not publicly he can't, but there are still offshots of the Mormon faith who practice this. And the Church may say that they will be excommunicated, but it never happens at the Temple, only publicly in the nonsecular. And the so-called revaltion that Warren had was the government saying "If you want to be chartered as a religion you can't have polygamy." I just saw a grouop of them on "Dateline the Outsiders" not even 5 month ago. It was a whole community of them living outside of the norm and until then they kept it very secret. The husband even stated he had no fear of being excommunicated or even prossicuted. And here's the weird part unlike the Jeffry's group where young girls are being forced to marry, the women in this group are the ones who decide who they're going to get married too. They then talk to their parents and the church elders with the guy not having a clue till he's told "You're getting married." Kind of Pagan if you think about it. And here's my two cents on right or wrong. I do not believe in having more then one sex partner at a time, I don't believe in promiscuity, nor do I believe in polygamy. I do believe that sex only belongs in consentual, long term commenments with or without the rings. But for us to have a socity that reveils in such behavour telling people they can't have more then one spouse is ludacreist and hypocritiacl. And as sexist and rediculous as I find the whole idea if that's what makes them happy and it's part of their religion who are we to judge? Especailly considering that our ideals about sex and relationships are just as warped the other way.

Yes. It's called being a Fundamentalist Mormon. I believe in it and I think that men can marry more than one woman, just like God, Brigham Young, Joseph Smith, etc...

Sure, as long as each wedding occurs after the death of (or temporal divorce from) all previous wives.

They do yes but only in a spiritual sense. Men are still sealed to multiple women in the temple. It is very hushed. This video will help you understand why they do it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy0d1HbItOo

Yes they can, but only in a spiritual sense. They still seal multiple women to the men in the temple. It is very hushed though.If you'll watch this cartoon it makes it easier for you to understand why they ever did it in the first place. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy0d1HbItOo

Not mainline Mormonism, which outlawed polygamy officially, but there are many small groups of Mormons who do not have allegiance to the major group and claim to be practising purer forms of Mormonism by encouraging polygamy, and marrying all girls off as soon as they hit puberty. That is what has happened recently in the USA.

Those demons still running around their congregations. My 2 cents.

If by "Mormon" you refer to a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the answer is no, they cannot be married to more than one woman at a time. (A person who is divorced or widowed may remarry) Generally "Mormon" refers to the LDS Church, but as a generic term it is sometimes used with reference to other "restoration" churches, which share a common ancestry dating back to Joseph Smith but now differ theologically and do not recognize one another's authority. Thus, "Fundamentalist Mormons" such as the FLDS are not LDS Mormons, as in the church based in Salt Lake City.

I think bringing sexuel norms in our day has no bearing on the subject; the mere fact that mormon men have, or want to have more than one wife is simpel exploition of simpel women. If women are to be respected in any social sub-cultural connection, then they are not to be treated like some form of cattle. Polygami is sexism at it's sickly height. If mormon men think/thought they have the right to practice this idiotcy, then mormon women should be given that right too. The difference is obvious, as a man, whatever his religion, would love to have sex with many women, it is his nature, (or has been), but if women did this too, poligamize, then they would be called hores, or worse, which is real hippocracy. The act of polygami only came into being because of mormon integrity going wrong, under the civil war, with many widows losing their mates in battle. It's a shame that men, as usual, turned around something profound into something perverted. It was seemingly an act of kindness, and was never meant to be physical. And no, I am niether mormon or religeous.

I just find it interesting that all this attention is given to this question. There is much comment, qouted doctrine, debate etc. Any other time a valid question is asked, one or several answers are given. But in the mormon realm it appears there needs to be great thought exorted and great debate. If this were a group with credability, wouldn't there word "no it's not" be good enough. Since there needs to be soooo much debate, it seems maybe there is a chance this is all made up.

Not anymore. There was a lot of religeous craziness going on with the Mormons in the late 1800's that dealt with Brigham Young's death, the Utah-Mormon Wars, the Mountain Meadows Massacre and a lot of US Government involvement. Mormon Polygamy was created by Joseph Smith as early as the Nauvoo days of the Mormon church and stemmed from Smith being a megalomaniacal, narcissistic, sex-fiend. Since he created the Mormon religeon out of thin air, he was the end-all, be-all as far as Gospel Doctrine was concerned. Since he wanted to have sex with women other than his wife, he decided to expand the religeon to include "Celestial Marriage." Basically, he thought Elohim(GOD) was a polygamous god that needed many different partners. Mormons claim that since Jesus Christ was the son of god that he was a polygamist, too. In the late 1800's the country became insensed at the notion of polygamy and was on the verge of wiping out Mormons. They had to submit or be destroyed. Thus, their "Prophet" (an elected official who claims to commune directly with God even to this day) had to renounce this unholy practice and submit to "The Law of the Land" as Mormons refer to it today. Thousands of women were put through the worst kind of psychological torture as a result of Mormon Polygamy, and even though it is illegal today, and the LDS church does not support it, there are still certain places in Utah that are very isolated where Mormons practice polygamy. The LDS church's official stance is that these Mormons are an offshoot called the "Reformed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." This is false as well. Joseph Smith's first wife was a member of the RLDS church and she and it's founding members renounced polygamy. Today's Mormon Church renounces Polygamy, but it was in practice and accepted by the church into the mid 1900's, even though it was outlawed. Sadly, almost all Mormons are so blindly faithful to Joseph Smith and Brigham Young that they can't see the truth when it's right in front of them. The Mormon religeon is a sham and has been from it's inception in the 1820's in Palmyra, New York. Why else would a faith be run out of town to travel to Ohio, only to be run out to travel to Illinois, Missouri, and finally Utah? Over 10,000,000 people are currently duped into thinking the Mormon faith is correct. They believe an almost 200 year old lie. Suggested Reading: "One Nation Under Gods: A History of the Mormon Church by Richard Abanes." This book examines the Mormon Church throughout its history and lays bare some very important facts that the church would rather keep buried. Final Answer: No. Mormon men cannot currently marry more than one woman. But they used to be able to, and it destroyed many, many women.

Not legally

Well I am glad that everyone is saying NO because it is true. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints no longer supports polygamy.

No, but it is part of LDS doctrine that they will have many wives in the afterlife. Thing is, many Mormons don't even know, or deny, that it's part of the doctrine. It's in Doctrine and Covenants, however, in the Book of Mormon.
