It's now practiced in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and Canada to name a few. Most people wonder if it's even legal or not while another worry about getting out. People marry someone that their parents feel is the right match for them.

The truth is that there's nothing more traditional than family and its values and the practice of multiple marriages. Polygyny, now called Polygamy is the marriage of various women to one man that on the world history. It's now only really practiced in countries that are the moron, where they call it monogamy.
