The Nehor wrote:I have only anecdotes. The one I am most familiar with is my great-great grandfather and great-great grandmother. In her journal she records him coming home from a meeting with the Brethren looking distressed. She inquired what was wrong and he said that if he and his wife agreed he was to take another wife. She records him saying that he wanted no other woman but her and that if he was to marry again it would be with her consent. After discussing at length it was decided that she would begin the search for someone else. She favored her sister and he agreed and they were married.
So then, based on the laws of the land, since this marriage was not a legally recognized union, your great-great grandfather and your great-great grandmother's sister were by definition "adulterers" ?
Any children that were the result of these two unwed people were defined as illegitimate or known by definition, as bastards.
Not according to the general pardon issued by the government after the Manifesto just prior to Utah becoming a State.

Yes, it does.

Ageism?
Disdain for harmony?
Denial?
