美国这里能一夫多妻 最高拥40名妻子
2020-03-30 09:00
现在大部分的国家都实行一夫一妻制，美国的宪法也是如此规定，但因为美国是联邦制国家，每个州在不违宪的前提下都会拥有属于自己的律法，不过今年2月时，美国犹他州参议院通过了一项法案，同意一夫多妻制在自愿的成年人中除罪化，而这背后与“摩门教”有着极大的关联。

耶稣基督后期圣徒教会又称为“摩门教”，该教的总部位于犹他州，早在1852年时实行一夫多妻的制度，摩门教的创始人斯密约瑟（Joseph Smith Jr.）更是娶了40名妻子，创下了摩门教徒娶妻的最高纪录，不过这项制度在1890年遭到美国国会禁止，该教也正式宣告停止实行多重婚姻，不过有一部分教友仍将一夫多妻视作摩门教的基本教义，并持续在实行当中，这一派系的人又被称作“基本教义派”。

而这些男性教友的伴侣通常也都会是基本教义派的女性教友，也因此对于这种一夫多妻的制度接受度非常高，通常对自己的婚姻生活感到满意，而摩门教也是一个不提倡离婚的宗教，要求教友们得彼此包容，因此婚后的冲突也会随之减少。

佢sealed啫, 我去就唔会咁屣。
畀人sealed咗都寂寞假, 我於心何忍

所以將烏利亞解決的辦法, 都做得幾啱

養唔到1個嗟，後來若干代終於生到一個对福傳貢献鉅大的人就乜都抵番。
經上所記的教導就係咁

沙文

我唔會咁自私，為了私心就唔為聖教會製造機會生對福傳貢獻至鉅嘅偉人。

沙文

我唔似您仲係有紮腳思想。要自願先得嘅，邊度到我「拎出來」？
貴教姊妹自己有這様的覺悟就會去做咖啦。

唔係我, 係"不过今年2月时，美国犹他州参议院通过了一项法案，同意一夫多妻制在自愿的成年人中除罪化"

我賀下國際友人, 在此情绪低谷, 一齊高興下啫

沙文

美國有聯邦議院咩? 喺您屋企開会咖

沙文

梗係尊重宗教個條啦

州長都簽L咗Lu, 原來, 非刑事係根本冇違憲嘅, 本身已成州法例, 所以不存在什麽「州法例衝突」

Polygamy is essentially decriminalized in Utah under a bill signed into law   3:41 PM, Mar 29, 2020

SALT LAKE CITY — Polygamy has essentially been decriminalized under a bill signed into law by Utah's governor.

On Saturday, the governor signed Senate Bill 102 into law. It reduces the crime of bigamy among consenting adults to an infraction -- on par with a traffic ticket. However, bigamy in concert with other crimes like abuse, fraud or child-bride marriages, becomes a felony.

The bill faced a lot of controversy on Utah's Capitol Hill, yet won overwhelming support among lawmakers. Utah was forced to abandon the practice of polygamy as a condition of statehood. Yet, it remains practiced today. Pro-polygamy groups estimate as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people in the state subscribe to Mormon fundamentalism, the belief system that includes plural marriage.

Polygamy remains a hot topic in Utah with many of the state's fundamentalist groups facing scrutiny for abusive practices. Fundamentalist LDS Church leader Warren Jeffs is serving a life sentence for crimes related to child-bride marriages.

Reality TV polygamist Kody Brown and his wives sued Utah after they came under investigation for plural marriage. A federal judge in 2012 decriminalized bigamy among consenting adults for a brief time, then a federal appeals court overturned it. The Utah State Legislature then "re-criminalized" polygamy in 2017.

Sen. Deidre Henderson, R-Spanish Fork, argued that to help people feel free to report abuses within the closed polygamous societies, they ought to reduce the penalty for bigamy among consenting adults. The bill was debated among current and former members of the polygamous groups who questioned if the change in approach would work.

Polygamists lobbied for the bill with legislators, who largely said they believed integrating plural families into society would lead to positive changes. Anti-polygamy activists have said the bill will not change, and fear it will embolden leaders to perpetuate abuses.

"The challenge now remains to educate people about the change and for plural families to responsibly demonstrate this freedom to lead out vigorously in protecting the innocent," polygamist Joe Darger, who lives in Herriman with his three wives, said in a text message to FOX 13. " It is also time to educate the public that if there was ever a time for Utahns to come together and put aside our differences and prejudices it is now."

Governor Gary Herbert's office did not immediately have a statement on the bill, altough he has previously expressed some support for a change in approach to how Utah handles polygamy. SB102 does not legalize polygamy, so it does not violate Utah's constitutional prohibition on it.
