I made an interesting discovery about the rules of Polygamy.
According to D&C 132:61-63
http://lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/132.61?lang=eng#60Plural wives must be virgins when wed or you are committing "adultery"
Question:
How many of Joseph Smith's wives were virgins when he married them?
Didn't he marry other men's wives and even at least one mother/daughter pair? Clearly these women were not virgins.
This scripture also helps refute the folkloric idea that polygamy was used to take care of widows. (Virgin Widows???)
