I think so. From The Journal of Discourses, Volume 4:
It will be borne in mind that once on a time, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and on a careful reading of that transaction, it will be discovered that no less a person than Jesus Christ was married on that occasion. If he was never married his intimacy with Mary and Martha, and the other Mary also whom Jesus loved, must have been highly unbecoming and improper to say the best of it.

Whether intentional or not, many defined events, to include books, were omitted from the Bible. Books such as written by the prophets Gad, Nathan, and others weren't included and so were special events not elaborated.
Plural marriages at the time of Jesus Christ were common among the prophets and high priests. Furthermore, before a Jewish man could become a teacher among his people he had to be married as was custom.
Jesus Christ professed he fulfilled the laws of Moses and in doing so I suspect he married so He could teach and preach His ministry.
Just because something is not defined in the Bible does not make it so.

He very well could have been. We do not have record of Jesus marrying, but who's to say He wasn't? Imagine those times, a 30 year old man not married? I believe marriage is a law of God and Jesus came to fulfill all law. I believe marriage, under the correct authority, is ordained of God, it is god-like and a celestial law...so if Christ was not married then, He will be at some point. Think about those 'missing years' of Christ's life that we know nothing about...between twelve and 30-ish?
My mother-in-law also has her own theory about the wedding Christ attended where He changed the water into wine - she thinks it may have been His own wedding...
Anyway, whether He was or wasn't doesn't change any doctrine or beliefs, so I don't dwell on it.

I heard, that in the Bible, it says that Abraham, Jacob, and Moses were polygamists!

This is why I disagree with the Mormon religion. Their book seems to discredit everything in the bible.
