Polygamous Mormon fundamentalists

Polygamous Mormon fundamentalists are sects devoted to Mormon fundamentalism who continue to practice plural marriage (a form of polygamy), even though that practice has been abandoned by the larger mainstream denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement. Most polygamous Mormon fundamentalists belong to sects that have broken from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which officially abandoned the practice in 1890. Almost invariably, the practice of plural marriage in these sects consists of polygyny, where men are married to multiple women simultaneously. According to one source there are as many as 37,000 Fundamentalist Mormons, with less than half of them living in polygamous households. http://principlevoicesofpolygamy.myblogsite.com/blog/_archives/2005/8/28/1176399.html

The Apostolic United Brethren

The Apostolic United Brethren, commonly called AUB, is estimated to have about 5000 to 9000 members throughout Utah, Montana, Mexico and elsewhere. The AUB is one of the more liberal of the Mormon groups practicing plural marriage. The AUB does not arrange marriages nor authorize plural marriages for people under 18, or for those who are closely related.
