**Polygamy is an issue in many societies today. In the 1800's olygamy was made illegal The definition of polygamy is the practice or condition of having more than one spouse (wife), at one time. the show "sister wives" on TLC demonstrates polygamy in the united states. This show features a 41 year old, Kody Brown and his four wives, 13 children and 3 stepchildren. The book __Sister Wife__, is another example of polygamy. Characters in this novel are faced with obsticles that the religion of polygamy throws at them. In by the end some members of the group end up leaving the movement and others stay. A man named Joseph Smith started polygamy. He used The Book of Mormon lead poeple in the direction of believing in what polygamy offers. people that still practice polygamy today still believe that Jpseph Smith received a "devine relation" that only men who took at least three women as their wives would become "gods" in heaven. Those who practice polygamy today have large quantities of children living at home and anywhere from three to fifteen wives. Joseph Smith is known to have 48 wives. about 2% of the unoted states population belives in polygamy. Girls in polygamy are married at the age of seventeen (sometimes younger). there are many people against the belief of polygamy and there are many that do believe in it. the question now is should it stay illegal or be changed to a legal belief?**
