The problem of polygamy around Utah is real and ugly. A woman can and has been forced into polygamous marriages as young as 13 -- and if the man is caught he's prosecuted for child sexual molestation (among other things), as he should be.

A Utah attorney is trying to get the anti-polygamy statutes overturned on the grounds that they are unconstitutional.

The LDS Church has opposed polygamy for more than a century; I'm not at all surprised that the woman was rescued by Mormon missionaries.

The polygamy is supported by a breakaway group from the mainstream LDS church. They have a name, but I seem to have blocked it out. Something like "Orthodox Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints" or some such. (NOT the Reformed LDS, that's a whole 'nother bag.)
